Question of the Day - Wednesday, November 5th, 2025

[casportpony]

Today's question is from @cavemanrich:

I know this question has been asked before. March 2025.
Regarding Daylight savings time. I have read the posts.
But this slightly different approach to same question is.

Daylight Savings Time; Not just a Yes, or No response, but your location, and reason behind your choice of yes, or no.

In the Question of the Day - Monday, March 24th, 2025 thread, I said "Daylight Saving Time".

I live in Gilroy, California, and I prefer having more daylight in the evenings because it makes caring for the animals and the property easier.

Mountain Time Zone, it's nice when the sun seems to stay up extra, but it's annoying, so no.

Daylight saving / British summer time all year round.

I live near the very north of the UK and sunset in the middle of winter is just after 3pm. It's stupid. We have electric lights these days and we're already using them to do things before the sun comes up at 9am. It would be much better to spend a bit more time doing things in the dark in the morning, and then not have whatever task you need daylight for cut short when you're barely halfway through the day.

Eastern Time Zone, I like Daylight Savings Time because the sun’s up when I go to church early in the morning.

NJ.

I leave for work at 6:15 am, going east, and return home around 4, going west. Daylight savings means I get to have twice the glare and blinding sun, when the clocks change. In the end, I leave in the dark and come home when it's nearly dark. So, no, I hate it. I also really resent the enforced jet lag twice a year, which gets harder to overcome as I get older, and I don't even have a vacation to show for it!

Whichever it isn't now. Not a fan of getting home and having a hour or a hour and a half of daylight left.

We do not observe DST in AZ. I don't see any reason to start now; the necessity for it died with the modernization of the farming industry.

I think I'd prefer Daylight Saving Time to Standard. I don't know how I'd feel about sunrise being about 9 am in December/January (DST). But I think I'd like it better than sunrise at 5 am on Standard Time in June.

If they would just pick one and stick with it, I could adapt, I'm sure.
