Arizona resident wondering what a time change is
Posted on 10/31/26 at 9:00 am to Allthatfades
I enjoy the early sunsets. It goes hand in hand with the fall and winter seasons.

I’m seeing smashing pumpkins tomorrow and show starts at 8 which will really be 9. Going to be a long night and early morning for me.

And today, the energy-saving rationale is weak, while the health and safety arguments for permanent Standard Time are substantial.
The school-bus issue isn't the main reason to oppose DST, but it certainly isn't an imaginary one. It is a legitimate safety concern, documented during the 1974 experiment with year-round DST.
The most defensible position is: abolish the twice-yearly clock change and adopt permanent Standard Time.
Outside of kids not getting run over by the bus, what are the health benefits? Light helps people to wake up, any others though?
I'm sure it's been studied, but I would immediately challenge this on the grounds of increased SAD & well being issues from it being dark all the time.
A few years ago, I was working a job where I was in an office or the dark all the time. i straight up developed a vitamin D deficiency & started having skin issues. Had to add a mid day walk to solve the problem. There's something majorly shitty about going to AND leaving work in the dark.

My sister went to the nyc show and sent me clips. You should have no problem staying locked in.

That's how jet lag works.
Your body is meant to wake up gradually with the sunrise. Earlier sunrise makes it easier to wake up at a fixed time. Later sunrise, the alarm jolts you awake at a time that doesn't match your natural cycle.
Tonight is also a win because you get an hour back by getting a full night's sleep and it still being earlier when you wake up.

The Spring forward one screws me up bad.. It takes me a a good solid week to get used to it.. I don't mind the Fall back one but it sucks getting dark so damn early

I prefer standard time. I like to go hunting. If I don’t kill anything I’m back home at decent time to go do something. If I kill one I’m still home before ten. DST is the main reason I don’t bow hunt

The idea that there is a "standard time" at all is just a social construct. There is no single "intended" way. The sun didn't come with numbers attached to it. We made those numbers.
No it isn’t. Our clock is based on the most consistent, observable solar phenomenon: solar noon. Cement a pole into the ground. Every day, mark the moment the shadow of that pole is the shortest. Depending on the time of year, that will drift a maximum of 16 minutes in either direction. Take the average and that’s what we mark as solar noon. If you look at a daylight graph during standard time, you will that noon is in the middle. If you look during DST, you will see it’s skewed over an hour.
Solar noon isn’t arbitrary. Therefore, a clock based on solar noon isn’t arbitrary.

I've never understood this complaint about DST. Do you not have any other times during the year when you get an hour less sleep than you were planning to (maybe go to a party and get home late, just have life stuff happen that keeps you up an hour later, or just have trouble falling asleep some night). Are you affected for a whole week by those nights too?
If you're that regimented, why don't you plan for this? Unlike other nights when you might not get all the sleep you need, you know exactly when the spring forward clock change is happening. Go to bed an hour earlier on March 14, 2027 and save yourself a week's worth of "screw up."
The clock change is exactly the way it should be now. It allows the daylight hours to be optimized for the majority our current work/school hours. There's no need to change it.

No... when it gets dark at 9pm in Georgia is what messes me up trying to go to sleep

Starting tomorrow, Nashville sees sunset before 5 pm every day until January 20th.
