Iām not a morning person, so no daylight when Iām sipping my coffee does not bother me. Iād rather have more light in the evening.

I definitely would prefer daylight savings time year round. I get up at 4am so itās always dark no matter what. But coming home from work in the dark at 5pm makes me feel like the day is done and I should just go to bed.

Iām the outlier here. Iām an early riser so I like an early sunrise. I go to bed early (9:30 typically) so I would rather have the light in the AM.

Iād much rather have light in the evening too! My D lived in Arizona and they donāt have daylight savings and she said it was much more gradual

I so want Daylight Savings Time all year round! It gets dark by 4 pm here in the winter and I just canāt stand it. It gets harder every year for some reason.

It will be difficult in the upper Midwest where I live. My opinion. It will be fine in Florida.
But here, kids will be picked up by the school bus in the dark all winter long. Iām sure itās going to be great with snow, slippery weather and kids waiting in the dark for the bus.
But it will get dark at 6pm instead of 5!
Yes two days of time change is such a great burden lol!

I donāt give a crap whether itās daylight savings or standard time, I just want them to settle on one. Itās very hard on us to have to adjust to a new time every 6 months, especially for my mother and me. She doesnāt know how to reset her clocks and I have to make a special trip to do it for her.

I also would really like DST to be all year round. Yesterdayās walk to the beach at 5:30 pm and back home was light all the way for the 5 mile round trip. No flashlight needed!

I can imagine, but I had to chuckle this weekend. Weāve been losing power so often over the last few years that I am a champ now when it comes to resetting clocks. I just walk through the house and bam bam bam.

Our cats eat out of autofeeders. For a while, Mr. tried to adjust the clock in those feeders, but then we just stopped doing this because the cats were not happy. Now the cats get fed at the same astronomical time year round. They donāt give a hoot if their chow gets dispensed at 6 or 7 pm, but they are mildly amused by their humansā biannual change of routine.

I could swear there was a previous energy shortage time and DST WAS extended to the full year. Rationale was that less lights would be needed in the afternoon/evening. Does anyone else remember this?
ETAā¦here:
ā Year-round daylight savings time was adopted in 1973 in a bid to reduce energy use because of an oil embargo and repealed a year later.ā
Iām with @oldfort . Just pick what you want for time. I need to get my owners manuals out twice a year to change the time in my carsš”

Team DST here.
So start school an hour later, the studies show the extra hour of sleep is more beneficial for the kids anyway.

I live in the north and love those summer nights where it is light so late, Iāll spring ahead and stay there!

As a cat owner, this begs the question, āHow can you tell?ā 
My pets do not get fed out of auto feeders (tried it; they didnāt like it). Evening is not much of a problem, as they know they will get fed once one of us gets home, although that did require some retraining after 18 months of working from home. The issue is the morning feeding in the Fall; it takes them a while to adjust to the fact that I am not getting up at 5 a.m. to feed them just because their bodies thinks itās 6 a.m. and that no amount of jumping on the bed will change it. 
Personally, Iād prefer DST year-round, but will settle for year-round standard time.
