Question of the Day, Friday, March 6

[Winchester]

Good morning!

Early Sunday morning, we will turn the clocks ahead one hour for Daylight Savings Time. I can't wait; we love being outdoors and this gives us a longer day to play. I'm always sad when the days start getting shorter and we have to go to Standard Time. I'd be happy to stick with Savings Time and be done with it.

Which do you prefer: Savings or Standard Time? If we had to just pick one and stick with it, which one would you want? Why?

 

[maggiedemi]

I don't really care which one, I just wish they would leave it on one or the other. It's such a pain when we have to switch it, it throws my schedule & the cats' eating schedule off.

I guess if I had to pick, I would pick the sun staying out longer, so Savings Time I guess.

 

[Mia6]

I like standard time, not really sure why.

 

[Kat0121]

I just wish they would get rid of changing the clocks altogether. I find it rather pointless.

 

[CatLover49]

I dont know really which one I prefer at the moment...but I do know that I dont like the changing of the clocks..cause it throws me and snowball off our schedule big time...Takes a bit of time to adjust...every time...

 

[NY cat man]

Since I am a morning person, I prefer standard time.

 

[Willowy]

I prefer Saving time. My circadian rhythm must run late because I never fully adjust to Standard time. Plus I do enjoy having the sun out for more hours after work.

I wish they'd stop changing the time but it would be somewhat impractical up North here. If we didn't change time it would be dark until 9 am in the winter. Maybe they could switch to the half-hour and leave it there. But every state would have to do it at the same time and that's definitely not gonna happen.

We don't change time, time changes around us.

I like it dark in the morning driving to work. wish they would LEAVE it as it is. I look forward to fall so I can get my lost hour back. I feel like I never catch up and am always tired in the summers..

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I like more light in the evenings. More time for the kids to get outside and play. Sometimes there isn't much light left when we are done for the day so they don't get outside time. I'm not a morning person; so extra light in the morning doesn't interest me too much. But the clock changing really needs to be done away with to me. It was AWFUL when my kids were little but I had friends whose kids were waking them up at 4:30am so it could have been worse. But really; changing a baby-preschoolers schedules is just against nature. It's hard enough for us!

I prefer standard because I do like it when it’s dark earlier. I’m up at 4:30am and go to bed at around 8:00pm. It’s awful in the summer going to bed when it’s still light. Anyway, I prefer fall/winter anyway...

 

[Elphaba09]

I do not care one way or the other.

 

[Willowy]

We don't change time, time changes around us.

All that wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff .

But the way humans choose to define time does make a difference to most people, who are forced to live by a schedule. Alas.

 

[aliceneko]

Standard time, I'd think.

 

[Jem]

I don't know which one I prefer. I do wish they would just pick one and stick with it though.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Saving. I hate leaving work when it's dark out. The sunsets around 4:30 in the winter and I just don't like that.

 

[lizzie]

I really don't much care one way or the other.I do wish they'd close their eyes and point and leave it alone!

 

[Texaskitty]

I like having a little more daylight after work because we can let our 3 chickens out after work. During the winter the chickens are in the hen house all day and bored, they only get out on the weekends. This time of year is a game-changer for us. Clementine and Bonita can start running around again and have just started laying again and Rudy Rooster starts crowing like crazy.

 

[muffy]

I prefer standard time because I like it getting dark earlier. I wish they would stop changing the time.

I just wish they'd pick one and stick with it. It messes me up for about a week either way. I don't know what the point of it is.
