JCC Daylight Savings: Keep or throw away?

With daylight savings time beginning just around the corner, I thought it'd be interesting to see what you guys think about whether or not we should keep it. Should we keep daylight savings and have it be light out at 8 or 9 all throughout the year or have it be shorter days? Because every year, almost ever state in the U.S. switches their clocks twice a year. The only states I know that don't do this are Arizona & Hawaii. In your mind, what are the benefits of keeping daylight savings or what are they when we throw it away? Personally, I love having daylight savings. Sure, I do lose an hour of sleep but I get used to it and I just love having the sun out later during the evening. There are pros and cons to this but am interested to hear what you think

 

Why is this a hidden poll? Declare yourselves, you cowards. Have the courage of your convictions.

 

I voted to throw it out.

 

I voted to keep it. Here, it is very nice to have light late into the evening, especially when hiking. Besides, I'm not a morning person.

 

Toss it, anakinfansince1983 sums why it needs to go.

 

None of the above, thankfully.

 

I vote to get rid of it. The changing of the time messes me up for at least a week and it's annoying.

And when you work over the time change it's quite a pain. Not only do you have to work an extra hour when we 'fall back' but then I'm always confused as to when to give things. If I have to give a medication at 0100, do I give it at the first one or the second? Also, if I document something happened at 0130, how does someone know if it was the first one or the second? No matter what, it can screw things up.

 

I always forget to change my clocks for a few days If i didnt have a device that does it itself (Phone/PS4) i'd be lost until someone mentions it to me.

 

Precisely this.

 

Technically we'd be throwing out standard time, since daylight saving (no "s") time is what we're on for the majority of the year.

But yeah, there's never really been much point to time changes.

 

keep it cus that day you get an extra hour of sleep is the best day in the year. it's better than my birthday. and everyone else's.

 

Throwing out standard time makes sense, throwing out dst is stupid. As you'll find out when you have kids. Keep the little tykes outside an hour longer.

 

I just stay up an hour longer on that night.

 

Yeah.

There's no reason to support the constant switching, just stick with the one that everyone seems to like.

 

does such a thing exist?

 

Get rid of it. It's a health hazard.

It means nothing to me except that some favorite TV shows are earlier in the evening than I'd prefer. So throw it out.

 

The switching back and forth is pointless and dangerous. Get rid of standard time and just stick to 'savings' time.

 

One of the things that bugs me about it is solar noon is at 1:00 during DST. I've never been a fan of it and would not lose any sleep over losing it.

 

I say we get rid of time altogether.
