Every fall, Americans are plunged into darkness an hour earlier when the clocks turn back at the end of daylight saving time. Many see the beginning of standard time as a mild annoyance.

I’ve never liked the changing times that come with DST. It interferes with just getting in to a routine. Morning larks love it, because mornings are always sunny, but I prefer just letting the longer and shorter daylight seasons stay as they are. Sunlight waxes and wanes.
