Déjà vu. Feel I read this exact article and bill in 2022 too. Guess it didn’t pass nor was it the last Daylight Saving Time.
I am well into my 8th decade of shifting to and from daylight savings, and have yet to experience the slightest problem with it. I must be missing something.
Just when I get use to being 1 hour behind they change it so I am 1 hour ahead.....😜
Being retired, it machts nicht to mich.
Everyday is Saturday, except for Sunday.
Even the dog doesn’t care that much.
YMMV
I HATE switching clocks twice a year... either way. Even getting the extra hour of sleep in fall messes with my bio-clock.
Dumb, old idea that needs to just go away.
Really — WGAF. Just live your life by your own clock, and stop giving a damn about what time the government tells you it should be.
It’s a foolish twice-a-year exercise. Keep DST all year.
it’s about time...
Am I the only one who remembers Carter doing yearlong DST in the 70s, with children going to school in the night-time? I even remember a Opinion page cartoon with mothers dressing their children with miner’s flashlight hats.
Makes as much sense as asinine masks! It’s not good for your health either.
Changing Clocks to Daylight Saving Time Is Bad for Your Health
A neurologist explains why our bodies fare better when aligned with the natural light of standard time
I hope Arizona continues to keep standard time year-round, because it works better for this state (and I like it better, too). Other states can decide for themselves what works best for them.
What we don’t need is Congress passing some one-size-fits-all legislation.
But I did a LOT of domestic and international travel to Europe, South America, and Asia, so I'm used to some serious time adjustments.
It cracks me up people can't handle a one hour time change. Do they never move across time zone boundaries between states?
What about all the people that can change time zones and stay in their home state? Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Wisconsin? Or those states with chunks that already do not do the annual time change?
I’m all for keeping same time.
BUT it is an affront to the normal definition of noon time to stay at “daylight SAVINGS time”.
12:00 should be the highest point of the sun. It always was the definition of noon and should continue.
Going to “savings” would mean sun is highest at 1:00. That makes zero sense.
Plus, it’s nice to have some daylight creeping into waking times rather than being mostly dark forever. This week we are waking at 6 and will again be covered in darkness even when driving out for the bus by 6:45. We had light by 6:30 last week.
Doesn’t this subject get tossed around every year? In the spring and in the fall?
Right on! I worked 12 noon to 12 midnight for years. Then retired. I get up when I want and sleep when I’m sleepy. Generally 9:30 am to 1:00 am. I enjoy it that way.
Leave it standard and be done with DST. Cows and chickens don’t care.
If we have to do this, split the difference in the fall and go back 30 minutes and leave it there.
Thank goodness Hawaii doesn’t have DST.
