The end of daylight savings time

[4metals]

Sad time of the year for me, losing an hour of daylight in a single day. At least the seasonal variation makes daylight shrink by minutes a day normally, an entire hour in a day is a bit extreme. Most of the US has daylight savings time but what about the non Americans here?

There are discussions in EU to drop it.
We will if they do.

Honestly I wish we would drop it , I have a natural alarm clock a murder of crows usually start cawing just after sunrise .

I believe it is Indiana that dropped it years ago. I used to call a friend there and half the year we were in the same time, the other half we were an hour different. It made doing business a bit difficult at times.

Yeah. The main goal of this - saving electricity by reducing time street lamps are on - is now practically useless - since LED street lamps consume small fraction of what older Hg or Na lamps used to...

If it is all worth all of the hassle and messing with people´s biorhytms... I don´t know.

I am not that sensitive to timechange since my sleep schedule practically doesn´t exist But I know people who are out of balance for week or two just to cope with this.

I'd prefer to keep Daylight Savings permanently all year around. I sleep later in winter anyway, so I'd rather sunset be at 5:30 instead of 4:30 on Dec 21st.

All in all, it probably does not matter that much - which one we pick. But I would be more happy if we picked just one We will eventually adapt ourselves to one or another.
