Daylight Savings Time ("DST")

[Darts]

Would you prefer DST year-round?

Trivia question. Where did the concept of daylight savings time originate?

The original proposal for DST adjusted the clock:

1)30 minutes
2)1 hour
3)2 hours
4)3 hours

I'm fine with the existing system.

Me too. I don't get all the hype and anger over an hour time difference.

Time change messes with my sleep patterns for some reason. I don't have any anger about it though.

My sleep is messed up more then twice a year. I wish I was you.

At 2 out of 365 days, you live a sleep privileged life. LOL

I don't like changing the clocks twice a year either. My personal preference is to keep DST year-round. I'm not an early riser and nothing really happens between 5AM-7PM.

There are many more people out and about at 4PM-7PM than at 5AM-7AM. Also, don't want the kids coming home in the dark and also lose an hour of outdoor playtime when so many kids need more exercise and not more screen time.

Missing a choice.
Would prefer Standard Time year round.

Vote no. In that case the default is standard time.

I seem to like your posts for some reason!

 

[Darts]

If we choose DST year-round, it then effectively becomes the "standard" time.

I seem to like your posts from some reason!

Good to hear, the technology section is dead so I gotta spinkle some stupid jokes in the lounge section once and a while.

Actually it is weeks until I feel somewhat normal, not to minimize your issues.

prefer DST. I hate goin and comin to and from work in the dark. Feels like a mushroom, so depressing. Like the long daylight hours in the summer with DST too.

Maybe they should have DTF time.

 

[Darts]

We already have DST 8 months a year now, why not just extend it for 4 more months?

(Those who prefer DST should write to their MPP. Time is a provincial (not municipal or federal) matter.)

I'm waiting for us to finally go metric.

What do you mean?
There is no other measurement of time.

Unless you are talking about switching to base 10.
