I was flying back on Saturday night from the west coast to the east coast on a 5 pm flight. The flight got delayed. Then you add the hour for daylight savings!! Went to sleep at 4:30 am!

Another Fan Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Every damn year I hear this is going to be the last time for turning back and or forward the clock and I actually used to believe it at one point! I fully prepared myself this weekend to wake up for work Monday feeling as grumpy as I did the morning after the Chiefs loss.

We tried full time DST in 1970, failed miserably. Yes. Because it's healthier. I don't want the sun to rise at 0930 in winter because that's really bad for your health. No energy savings and nothing but health risks like obesity, diabetes, etc...

I fully prepared myself this weekend to wake up for work Monday feeling as grumpy as I did the morning after the Chiefs loss. Hopefully come November it's the last time we fall back. Fall back and stay there. The stats, experts don't lie. DST is killing us. There's a reason why "standard time" exists. Morning light is more important for our bodies. https://www.colorado.edu/today/2022/03/28/why-permanent-daylight-saving-time-bad-idea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Shortening standard time to ~4 months under GWB was a half measure. Make DST permanent! Afternoon sun in the winter rather than at 6am. Keeping standard time and/or continuing to change the clocks increases energy use / consumption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ControllerOfPlanetX Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Every month should be 30 days, with five days at the end of the year for partying only. Every fourth year is added the Super Party Day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 There are some states you can move to without DST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 2 hours ago, Your Brown Eye said: Move to Arizona Hate it break it to you sunshine. Changing the clocks is probably the best compromise. 20 States want permanent Standard Time. 22 States want permanent DST. The States that want permanent DST should kick more money into the health system. DST causes more damage. 1 hour ago, Punching Bag said: There are some states you can move to without DST. Or we just let every State pick what they want. Right now it's almost 50/50. How well will that go? 😆 Edited March 11 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
