I live in Indiana, where we didn't change time at all until ...was it about 10 years ago? I forget. We were EST year round It was wonderful not to have to deal with DST.
But then we started observing DST and ...glory be, we had sunlight in summer until after 9 pm! That was quite a revelation, and very welcome.
So I'm all for permanent DST. Or putting Indiana in the Central time zone and observing permanent Standard Time.
But that ignores the people on the other side of the Eastern time zone who have a very different experience with when the sun is out.
- acoard 5y agoYou also wind up not getting sunlight until close to 9am during winter in some places. Personally I don't mind, but I've heard that some sunlight-sensitive people can really suffer in those conditions. Personally, I'd say keep the winter-time hours all-year round, even if you give up an hour of sunlight during summer just to tack it on to winter mornings.
