Poll: Stay on daylight savings year round, ending it, or changing the clocks twice a year?

I wonder if depression would drop if it was lighter out longer in the evening in winter?

1. CA voted to keep DLST year round in 2018, but nothing has officially changed yet.

2. New Mexico is voting on both ending and keeping DS year round right now.

I would HATE to have it get dark at 7 pm in the summer! Yuck! Much prefer it staying light late into the evening.

8. Come on, CA!

If you get rid of a twice a year time change, that’ll force OR and WA to follow and then we here in BC will probably do it too. So get going!

10. I wish they would hurry up.

It takes my body three months to adjust to the change each time! Maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but it still drives me crazy.

3. In the dead of summer in MT

it doesn’t get dark till 10pm. I’m okay with that since we have so much darkness in the winter months. More light please.

9. Those nice long evenings with a colorful sky. The time between sunset and dark seems to take

it's sweet old time.

[MontanaMama]

13. Oh yes.

I can recall years when it just didn’t seem dark enough for fireworks at 10:30 pm on the 4th of July!

4. I lived through that bad experiment in the 1970s

Getting up and going to school in the dark in January was brutal, cold, and depressing. I would never wish that for little kids.

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. Yeah. I don't like school kids

waiting for the bus in the dark. It's not safe.

[EllieBC]

14. This is true.

I live in BC and in the winter even with the falling back it’s still pretty dark for a bit. Now that I think about it, if we didn’t spring forward it would be light at 3:30am.

I think for those of us living farther north the extremes on either end suck.

5. DST year round means going to school and work at Night in winter.

And late Fall and early Spring as well. Arizona is standard time year round.

6. West coast

Pick one or the other, I don't care. But be consistent!

Russia solved it by adapting to military time across 12 time zones.

If you have to get up earlier to do business in Europe or
the east coast thats your problem.

I was never more in tune with nature then when I had to follow the high tides. Running barges into shallow Alaskan ports at high tide. Out 12 hours latter.

Now I go home every night, it's going to be dark in the am or PM. Makes no difference standard or daylight.

Traffic is the big influence, none or bumper to bumper.

7. No on Dayxit. Year round DLST. nt

12. I would prefer Standard Time year round but here in California the voters

decided on Daylight SavingsTime year round. I'm OK with it, just so they quit messing with the and time keep it one way or the other.
