Woke up this morning, and it is dark at 7 am. How does it effect you? I hate not seeing sun at 7 am.

I think I do. I don’t mind the changes.. but I really enjoy the change of seasons. Something about the longer nights and/or longer days always seals the deal for me, so to speak.

I’m not sure. I have difficulty differentiating between sunlight because we’ve changed the clock, and sunlight because the days are longer in summer anyway.

I love daylight savings time on an appropriate seasonal basis. I wouldn’t want to be on it all year because I don’t fancy driving home after it has already been dark for an hour or two.

I enjoy the change in the fall—not so much in the spring.

It doesn’t really make much of a difference to me. I really like waking up to the sun, but I also like having the sun out later in the evening.

Daylight Savings Time all the way. it may actually hold down crime.

I like DST for what it was originally intended for. IMO I think many excuses are being made to continue the practice. It’s a bummer having to adjust your body clock twice a year;~).

I don’t like when it gets dark at 6pm. I like sitting on my deck in the evening and with the time change it’s not as enjoyable.

@AmWiser I have a perfectly timed body clock. I can go to bed and tell myself to wake up at 6:30, and my eyes will fly open at 6:30 even if I’m not on a schedule and usually sleep till when-ever. Since I work now I set my alarms, of course, but I’ve done the other in the past. I can usually tell you what time it is within 5 minutes (when I was younger it was within 1 minute) even if I haven’t looked at a clock in hours. Thing is, I seem to adjust instantly to the time change. It’s no harder going to bed an hour “earlier” or getting up and hour “earlier…” Same thing when I go to Seattle, two hours behind us. I step off that plane, check the time, and I’m set internally. Is that strange?
