As a current Arizonan that was raised in OK, I can wholeheartedly say Standard Time is better! I love not having to deal with the time change. As a parent it is a huge blessing as well. Plus when it starts to get darker earlier in the fall we can adjust to it gradually and not have a disorienting and depressing few weeks after an abrupt change when DST ends. You don't miss the longer daylight evenings in the summer once you get used to it either. I think all of MAHA needs to get on board with permanent standard time!
My vote is Standard Time so that children aren’t going to school in the dark when we change to DST in the spring and then again in the fall before we change back. Besides, changing back and forth is such a useless nuisance.
The single hour shift in spring makes such a negative difference in effectiveness and energy levels, and I'm a circadian night owl. If a congenital late riser can recognize the benefit of standard time's sunlight, it should be obvious to everyone, I would think.
As an avid organic farmer, I can say from experience that DST wreaks havoc with nature. It upsets everything from bee foraging to normal nocturnal activity among barn kitties, who keep rodents controlled. The kitties go totally crazy when I fed them according to DTD so I could get to work on time. Now retired, we have all settled in to a pleasant circadian rhythm and I do not need my c-pap any more. I suspect that DST has contributed to the ubiquitous diagnosis of dementia in the elderly.
Nature doesn't know what your clock says, Farmer. Clock shifts are irrelevant, beyond the brief temporary change in say ... Feeding schedules for livestock.
I think you have made my point. Nature doesn't know (or care) what my clock says. You seem to think the cascade of confusion resulting in a "brief temporary change" is trivial. You're free think that, though it flies in the face of the scientific evidence to the contrary. Friend, why would you do that?
Standard time is standard for a reason. Daylight savings time is invented. Stay on standard time and the gradual adjustments throughout the year will not be difficult.
I would say Daylight time is better for being able to have light later and having it better for hunting and fishing. I like having more daylight when I finish my work day. Most of the year, I drive in the dark in morning.
Please save Standard time, sun time, as God made it, over daylight savings time
God invented the hourglass - Not "hours in a day"
I think you have it exactly backward.
So you think that God invented hours- 24 of them? Or 12?
Standard time is the only way to go. Thanks for posting this article.
So glad that somebody's actually talking about this...

The conspiracist in me says the more they meddle with our connection to natural cycles the easier we are to manipulate.
Another vote for standard time.
We already tried all-year Daylight Saving Time, and it wasn't a success.
If we're going to be changing to another year-round time, it should be STANDARD TIME, not DST, and thanks for asking!.
My vote is Standard Time so that children aren’t going to school in the dark when we change to DST in the spring and then again in the fall before we change back. Besides, changing back and forth is such a useless nuisance.
Please stay with Standard Time year round. My body and mental health needs it

Standard time, please. Enough nonsense.

Science me more, logic lady. Your argument is incoherent -
"You seem to think the cascade of confusion resulting in a 'brief temporary change' is ..."
You were going for -
"You seem to think the 'brief temporary change' RESULTING IN a cascade of confusion .."

Just go pound sand, Dude.
Just feed your kitty an hour later for a week, tapering off. Not a big deal.
Corrections: DST, not DTD. Also kitties went crazy when I fed...
This seems like a stupid and moot argument. Put clocks back to the way they were before all this nonsense started. End of story.

Daylight savings time is 'invented.' But the Lord gave us Standard Time in the Bible. Abraham wore a Swatch.
It should be whatever it was before Mr. Franklin had his bright idea
Standard is standard. Keep it so.
