I don't understand why daylight savings ends. Who benefits from us switching back?

your comment made me want to learn why we do it. i still don't really understand why we go back, though.

My best guess is the time zones were originally set up so that 12:00 matches up vaguely with solar noon. The whole thing is arbitrary so it's hard to come up with good rationals either way, though. I mean instead of Daylight Saving we could just change standard operating hours from 9-5 to 8-4 and it would have the same effect right?

this.

Yes, your comment has convinced me.

I, on the other side of the coin, hate having to wake up in the dark.

I don't care at all because I never notice the difference anyway.

Just pick one and stick with it. The time CHANGES are what is a pain in the ass.

Don't you mean "Your region has decided it will NO longer switching between Daylight Saving Time and standard time".....?

And, uh, 'this' is spelt wrong in your title...

Are you okay, Mike?

[thewebmistress]

Actually it would be "Your region has decided it will NO longer be switching..." :P
