Do you prefer Daylight Saving Time?  Do you prefer Standard time?

Would you like one of these year round, if so, what is your preference?  Or perhaps you want the time to NOT change but you do NOT have a preference for Daylight Saving or Standard time.

If you live outside of the USA, please state your country if you so desire.

Some areas of the USA and other countries do not change their clock's times, except maybe for a "leap second," but that is a different matter.

I'd prefer DST year-round.

I hate the winter time on Standard Time.
I get up, and it's dark.
Go to work, and it's dark.
Come home, and it's dark.
Go to bed, and it's dark.

If I lived up north by Danielle, I would go insane without sunlight for half a year.  ;D

Dear Lori:
But in the middle of the summer here, it never gets dark...
... it is just barely twilight or dusk for about an hour or so. 

Near midnight the sun just barely dips below the horizon for about an hour.

How long did it take to adjust to that? My body wouldn't know when to sleep.  :laugh:

@Lori Dee
In the winter long dark days always lots of lighting in my home and office all day long and
in the summer nights when the sun never sets black out curtains in my bedroom and other
rooms in my home.

I do enjoy the long days in the summer months... lots of activities to enjoy....
...and on winter nights, the brilliant night sky is a sight to behold especially since
I do not live anywhere near a town that causes lots of street light pollution.

When I  was a kid they left the clocks alone for a few years. It wasn't popular. Remember having to  use lights  on my bicycle.  It was the late 60s in England. I always  have  trouble  adjusting when the clocks  go forward  but love the  light nights

Arizona's Standard Time all year worked great for me when we lived there.   My parents brag about not changing time for a week or two either side of the insanity.   I do not care which standard it picked.  I just want it to stay the same all year.   Time change insanity has outlived any utility. 

When I was a kid, Alberta didn't change their clocks.  It was standard time all year long.  Same thing in my 20s when I lived in Saskatchewan: they still observe standard time all year.

I think daylight saving time is bizarre, unnatural and pointless.  If you want longer evenings, have supper at 5:00 instead of 6:00.  As an amateur astronomer, I hate having to wait up late for the sky to get decently dark in midsummer.  I would vote for standard time all year.

I'm from Canada here. I don't care which one they use I just don't want to waste my time changing clocks twice a year.

When told the reason for daylight savings time, the old Indian said, "Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket."  ;D

It should be dark outside in the summer by about 9pm!

I want the extra hour of daylight in the evening for riding bike and combining corn. So I like it as is.

I awake early to get things done, freeing up free time during the evening.
