At least 'over East', it's actually nice getting back from work (times fixed at 9-5) and then still have 3-4 hours or so daylight to enjoy doing other non work stuff!
Long balmy evenings are magnificent! and clock time is an invention anyway.
...I like variety and change, so I love it.
I wonder if it would be more of a PITA if there were no time zones at all? [bigwhistle]
Nearly 6pm and the suns up- I Love it.
I did hear that sleep is an issue. 21% increase in cardiac issues with one hour less sleep would you believe! Just for one day!!!
Get a 22% reduction when we drop it[bigwhistle]
That's what I like about DST.Quote:

i love daylights saving, can do things in the evening now.
wish we had it all year round.
only make sense in the southern states.
Yes I would love it ll year round also , at least in winter you might come home in the little remaining daylight instead of the dark around 5pm. I don't like it when it finishes, there is still room for daylight during that month.Quote:
