they were talking about taking away daylights savinges time here in TX.... meaning these crazy parents want it to be dark earlier... they must not have kids in sports... or they don't work out...
Daylight savings is advancing the clock in the spring. We (Texas) don't need more daylight during the summer. It doesn't get dark until after 9PM some days. I'm fine with it getting dark at 8PM in the summer.
DST is a hassle.
I know what daylight savings is.. I love being able to get off work and taking my kids to soccer practice and then being able to go home and still have outside time with them... unlike right now practice starts at 5:30 and by 6 its dark outside... even during the summer I love having it light out till 8...0 -
Moved to Calif. from Arizona last year. The "clock turning" is silly! Wish they took Arizona's example, and dropped it.
But it does not affect me that much. I adapt to it quickly. I don't mind the extra hour in the Fall, but miss the hour in the Spring a bit more.0 -
Doesn't bother me at all--I wouldn't have even noticed except for the one analog clock that I have in my home.
When I was out of shape, it was a big deal.0 -
In struggling with my walking routines, but other than that feel fine.0

I cant stand that it gets dark early--it really throws my day, my mood, and my sleep off. My mom makes fun of me because I really think I have that Seasonal Affective Disorder and I live in a place that is between 65-85 degrees year-round which she claims is not possible. Its not so much the cold (well, I feel cold but I've seen Jimmy Kimmel and realize the rest of the US is much colder
) but the dark that really bothers me. 0 -

Well then I'm confused. You (@kcrow4102) seem to be saying that "taking away" DST means that it is darker at 6 p.m. If they did away with DST in TX it would still be dark at 6 p.m. for you right now because DST is over. We're now in the non-DST portion of the year. Summer is DST time--if they did away with it, it would be light out until 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.0 -

I live in south Louisiana and I go through the exact same thing. Almost like a time change depression (Please don't jump on me for using that term, because I know its not technically depression but more of a depressing mood)0 -

It makes sense though. Many people treat SAD with light therapy. It's not really related to temperature. While Fall/Winter SAD is more well known, some people have Spring/Summer SAD. I have SAD-like symptoms in the warmer months. I'm not a big summer fan.0 -
I am struggling with night eating, because it gets dark so early I feel like it is late and then look at the clock and it is only 6pm and I am done with my calories for the day. UGH!!!0

My schedule is fine by the toddler in my house doesn't understand what daylight savings is and his schedule has been off, which means my workouts consist of trying not to kick my 2 year old in the head while he's running circles before 5am lol0

My phone, automatically changed in my sleep, and I was completely oblivious to the time change, hahah.
Didn't find out it happened till just now reading this.
I have to manually change the clock on my stove, microwave, and car. There's a lamp in my bedroom with a clock that I may or may not change.0 -

I love the evening light. I am in manitoba ms sometimes in June it is light until 11pm. So lovely!! I get so much done in the yard, garden, with my animals, and I can go for a run whenever. Time changes back now and it is dark at 5:30pm. Sooner in December. It makes me sad. And not just sad but S.A.D. Not fun. I love the daylight. I don't need it in the morn. I am at work with no windows at 7:30am. I wish we would just stay with the summer time. Life is better then.0

Lol. I know the feeling. Once they get in school it's easier. 0 -
Yeah, I've definitely noticed I'm starving by 10:30 am! I have to distract myself so I'm not tempted to sneak in a snack. Also, my kids have been waking up so freakin early that I am exhausted all day so it's making it much harder to have motivation to work out.
I'd rather be napping! 0 -

I hate daylight savings time and I will gladly sell my vote to anyone who says they'll abolish it. That is all.0
