What would you like to be done regarding the Daylight Savings and Standard Time Changes?

Keep status quo of changing the clocks bi-annually.
Move to permanent Daylight Savings Time
Move to permanent Standard Time
Move to one Universal Time

??? If you keep Daylight Savings Time, you won't have that Sunday where you gain an extra hour.

I think that by "keep Daylight Savings Time" he means keep the shift to and from it, ie keep the current system.

Yes, this is what I meant. I voted for option 1.

I never suffered much because of the time change but I'd like to live a year or two without it because as I wrote above I was small child when it was introduced and have no recollection how before was any different. I just checked, when I spent one year at university in Seattle in the mid-1990s they also had daylight savings time, so I have never lived without DST.

Permanent Standard Time, obviously, which is a closer approximate to actual, astronomical time.

My vote, too.

As an aside, my wife is in charge of scheduling meetings with individuals across the globe -- something that's difficult enough to do most of the year. Currently, with various countries changing or not changing clocks on different dates, it's a real nightmare.

Personally, I enjoy the time change.  I love the "extra" hour of sunlight.

Agreed, although my youngest will still wake up at the same time, making the 'fall back an hour' moot. I suppose I could keep her awake later tonight... :-\

I for one really do appreciate those long summer days with sunlight until 9 or 10pm, so I guess I am a DST fan.

Now we're talking!  :)

Perhaps I should move further north...like to Finland?  And enjoy those long days filled with sunlight.  Question:  do they use some sort of black-out curtains these days in order to get a decent amount of sleep?  :-\

Realized that what I actually wanted was permanent DST, because I hate when it's dark at 5PM in the winter.

Well, I've changed the two clocks which won't change automatically, nd I can chill out.

Remember to change your watch too (Need to do mine once I can deal with going into my chilly kitchen).  And car clock.  :)

If we had permanent DST here, in December the sun wouldn't rise until after 9am.
