Spring forward, fall back. And remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarms. That's the only benefit I see to DST. There is a new bill in Congress to abolish the semi-annual clock change.
Nevermind how which politician feels about it. I am curious how you other PLs feel about it and why. I am in favor of doing away with the time change, but against making Daylight Savings the standard. I like earlier Standard Time sunsets because it is healthier for humans biologically. Our circadian rhythms and wake/sleep cycles are heavily influenced by it. I like morning sun to get me going, I strongly dislike driving to work in the dark, and I hate seeing kids standing at bus stops in the dark. I like watching the sunset while dining in an outdoor patio. I like night swims and outdoor movie nights with my backyard screen. I like walking my dogs at dusk, hearing the owls and watching bats against a purple-red horizon.
I prefer going to strip clubs at night, too. A lot of PLs are scared of clubbing at night and nobody wants to be a 2AMer, but I'm more afraid of being seen walking into a club by someone who knows me driving by and I am rarely closing out a club anymore. I'm definitely a morning person when it comes to work and productivity, but I prefer to do my nocturnal activities at night, under the cover of darkness.
I favor permanent DST and we almost got it in Georgia.
ATLANTA — An unorthodox maneuver to get permanent Daylight Saving Time in Georgia — by switching to the Atlantic Time Zone — failed to gain traction in the Georgia House before the 2026 legislative session came to its end on Thursday.
The state Senate had passed a bill that would require the governor to formally ask the U.S. Department of Transportation to place Georgia in the time zone an hour farther east, which includes parts of easternmost Canada and islands like Bermuda and Puerto Rico.
