  • I'd prefer to have DST all-year long. I hate during the winter when it gets dark at 4:30.

    No.  I would like to stay on standard time all of the time.

    Maybe we can sign some sort of petition requesting more daylight. ;O

    In the USA, we move our clocks forward in the spring and backwards in the fall. So we loose an hour of sleep in spring  but it is daylight longer in the evening. 
    And the reverse in the fall, we gain an hour of sleep but it will get dark earlier.

    I understand that, the question was 'Does losing an hour of daylight' but I do not see how you are losing an hour of daylight.

    It is going to be dark an hour earlier so it feels like we lost that hour of daylight.

    I know it gets lighter earlier, but it seems like a jip because who cares about light at 6 in the morning. I would rather have it in the evening. Thanks myonemaster. ;)

    I suppose it all depends on where you live, for example in my case when I lived in Scotland if the clocks did not change then young kids would be going to school in the dark.

    Again that is down to location, different strokes for different folks.

    I take a very Dim view of making it darker earlier ......they should just change the clocks after people's gone to bed so no one would realize they've been messing with time again....:(
