It is awesome. I love it getting dark later. I can go work in the yard for longer tonight when I get home.

But I'm a morning person, so I don't have any issues getting up when it is still dark outside.

Here we get sun early and late. Sun rises around 6 now and by 5 am come summer. Doesn't get dark until after 6 now, that will change to after 8 pm come summer.

Here in Nashville, it will get dark by 4:30 for a few weeks in the winter. I love the longer days after work, but adjusting to the time sucks.

I like more daylight after work when I can use it. I don't care if it is dark for the commute or beginning of the work day. After work is my time and I can do more with the daylight then.

Yeah growing up daylight savings time was one of my favorite days of year. We could play outside longer, summer was coming, etc. Now I love it for the extra daylight and the fact that my kids sleep longer in the morning due to it being darker outside their window

Not sure how anyone doesn't like having extra daylight to do things. I wish they'd get rid of standard time if anything.

I'm at work. And I meant when it starts getting light. Sunrise can say 6:30....it's light outside at 6-6:15 here.

I'm hearing more and more people at work /on radio /etc bitch about daylight savings time(not just the switching but the darker mornings /lighter evenings). I always thought having more daylight in the evening was almost universally beloved but it doesn't seem so.
Well, I'm enjoy it. Just a little adjustment to the darker mornings. One person in the family doesn't like the lighter evenings or rather longer daylight hours but I personally do.

I love it. I hate it when we fall back an hour in the fall.

What's the reasoning for AZ not to participate in DST?

A lot of these baws are in for a rude awakening when they have kids if losing 1 hour of sleep for 1 day throws then off that much

Got up in the dark just like I do every weekday morning. The payoff will be this evening when it stays light later.
