We need to keep daylight savings and eliminate standard time. We're on standard time right now. I hate it getting dark at 5pm.
While most people seem to say they prefer DST, research strongly supports permanent standard time.
I remember seeing some research draw this conclusion as well, but IMO it's the wrong conclusion since a lot of the data in the studies I saw seemed to indicate the issues stemmed from the actual switch, not whether we did things an hour earlier or later. It's that transition period that fucks things up. While I'd prefer permanent DST, I don't care that much. I just want the endless, stupid dance to stop and never switch again.
2/3rd of the research in that link is anecdotal. Further, I still want DST to be permanent. I like it dark in the morning and light further into the day.
Exactly. I'd much rather have more daylight during "my" time after work than while I'm at work in the morning.
For sure, it's depressing as hell for it to get dark so early.
Fuck DST. I hate it staying dark in the morning.
Fite me.
"Flying groin kick!"
Seriously. DST fucks with my sleep schedule so badly when I have to get up before sunrise...
As someone in daylight savings time now, it's still bright outside at 830pm and that needs to stop
As someone who doesn't like the sun that thing needs to stop
