Anyone else hate that it’s getting dark early because of daylight savings?

[Finchie40]

I always feel like it’s later than what it actually is , anyone else feel the same?

As someone born in a land of sunshine ☀️ and lemon trees 🍋 I absolutely hate the darkness of north American winter. I hate the darkness more than the cold... I don't agree with the practice of daylight savings personally, it makes no sense to me. I don't want there to be more light in the morning when I'm stuck at work, I want there to be light when we come out of work!!! But no, I have no time to take my walk in daylight anymore.. I can only have a short walk at lunch time...

Lol, I don't victimize myself as much as I made it sound. But seriously, they should re-evaluate this "daylight savings" shenanigans.. I literally don't care if I have to work in dark hours.

[Crimsyjo]

Yep I am hating the cold and the dark. I've got out of habit of my gym time. I spend most of my time in bed if not working cos it's cold and the prices of heating these days is ridiculous. So I use a hot water bottle as much as possible.

I miss spring and summer when I'm jumping out of bed a 6am eager to get my tasks done!

Daylight Saving Time just ENDED- this is REALITY. More to the point, this is oncoming winter; we're closer to the sun and (in the northern hemisphere) tilted towards it; it's going to move across the sky faster. THAT is what makes it dark so quickly (no, it's not "early"; noon is still noon. You just have less sun-time to work with.

You're free to get up earlier, if you wish.

[AviatorTom]

It's getting dark earlier in the Northern Hemisphere because the earth is entering the Autumn portion of its orbit around the sun, where the Earth's tilt causes the sun to appear lower in the horizon, and above the horizon for shorter and shorter times each day. It's bot caused by reverting to Standard Time.

It gets dark at 5 now when it used to only get dark around 7, I hate it :(

[jazzy34]

I hate it. Especially since I drive home from work in the dark. 😞

[noohair]

This is the normal part. We are on Standard time now. During the Arab Oil Embargo in 1974, the government kept daylight savings time for the entire year. Students went to school in the dark and it was not safe. Be careful what you wish for. Good Luck.

[Red_Arrow]

It is not. Daylight savings time causes it to get light earlier so people can have more time to enjoy light after work. It is getting dark earlier because daylight savings time has ended, not because it is in place now.

[sage2021]

Actually I love it! But of course I am retired and don't have to go outside unless I want to.

But I don't really care for the sun shining till 9 pm either

[Fireguy17]

It was cloudy here yesterday, and I had to turn the lights on at 3:30pm, and it isn't even the shortest day of the year yet.
So that would be a yes.

[katiesmuff]

Yes I hate it and it is something so simple to fix and our Jackass government can't even take care of that problem.

[BCRanger10]

Yes. I like it better when it's 9:00 PM and still fairly light out.

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!! I think that, this spring (if not sooner), we should move the clocks ahead 2 hours and just LEAVE IT THERE! At LEAST 90:00!!

[exitseven]

Yes it sucks. It will get worse before it gets better

[Juxtapose]

I love the cold and I like it when it gets dark early. I want it to be dark and absolutely fucking freezing, that would be amazing!

[Massageman]

Yes, and especially since we are on the crap end of the zone anyway (east edge)

[DrPepper12]

Yes!! The sun is the same in a relative way...
Just feels like it's in the wrong spot in the sky

[KostasKouvalis]

I haven't really noticed. It hasn't really effected me. It's mainly bad for road trips.

[Kelley1]

I hate daylight saving time.

[Flower7]

Yeah, it’s depressing.

[NathanDavis]

that's my element...

[Anonymous]

Daylight savings is over that's why it's getting dark at 5pm.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Shorter golf days :(

[avery58]

I actually kind of like it

[NaultD]

Imagine sunsetting at 2:30pm.

[SnowyOwl]

[NaultD]

@SnowyOwl then it's still light out all summer.

[BK2482047329]
