The dark side of permanent Daylight Saving Time

- The Utah Legislature has considered a bill or resolution regarding daylight saving time every year since 2009, but this year one of the bills may actually become law for the first time.
North America needs to be on Standard Time all year around. Permanant Daylight Savings will just mean that savvy people will simply start their day one hour later if DST becomes permanent. We need high noon to be at 12:00pm all year around and not just during winter months.
I even think the altering of the clocks most of the year to DST has contributed to global warming.
Daylight saving time forces people to start their day 1 hour early
If you normally wake up 7:30am
It will be changed to 8:30am
Now you have to wake up 1 hour early
Waking up early means waking up in the dark
Keep standard time all year
During standard time we don’t wake up in the dark because your starting your day 1 hour later
Wake up normally 7:30am
It will be changed to 6:30am so it 1 hour later
While 79 percent of Americans approved of the change in December 1973, approval had dropped to 42 percent three months later
If I remember correctly they tried this in the 70s. And it didn't work and went back to changing it seasonally
Correct.
Yeah because they think that it changes daylight but it actually doesn’t. They just need to remember that the clocks has been changed when we do the time change
@@m.e.d.7997it was worse in the 1970 where the clocks were not changed in the Fall
Permanent DST will change the time zone in the USA
Eastern time
UTC-5 to -4 if they make the time zone change permanent
Sunrise will be 1 hour later and sunset will be 1 hour later during winter
Just leave the time alone, keep it as it should be (STANDARD)!
This is easy, just push the school day back. Studies have shown kids aren’t fully awake and functioning until past nine in the morning anyway.
art deco I’m not either for that matter!
Yes! And other countries have done this. I took my kids out of the public school system.
It’s not just about the kids. Studies have shown that our sleep rhythms would ALL be disrupted on permanent dst, which would lead to an increase in sleep-related health problem.
It's a known fact that children's brains don't function well that early. Why don't we start school later?
Dorsey Ann yes!!!
We are the parent!! We have the choice and the right to NOT DO THIS to our kids!
Sleep earlier rather than setting the timer later Wtf
I’d rather have an hour more of sleep than an hour more of daylight any day.
We don’t get more daylight during daylight saving time
It only changes the local time
If sunset at 6pm
We only change 6pm to 7pm
We don’t get more daylight instead it’s whatever the local time says
Same here. I hate turning the clock forward
@@lexbeltran1354but setting clocks forward means sunrise and sunset will be later
Just end daylight savings.
It’s all bs lies.
Exactly
Yeah but what time do you want to stick with
Winter time is set clocks your backwards .you will have more light in the mornings according to the clock
Summer time is set your clock forward
You will have more light in the evenings according to the local time
@@tahmidabdin4625 You already get enough light in the evenings with the summer you don’t need it to be light till 10 o’clock (exaggeration but not far off)
@@drewmusselman I prefer standard time
In New York sunrises at 7:15am during
And change the time 1 hour ahead which would be 8:15am DST
That means 7:30am DST is dark outside compared to standard time
Standard Time is the real time, based on the sun. It’s also best for health, safety, education, economy, environment, and civil liberties. Permanent DST has failed many times before. Listen to history and scientific consensus: restore permanent Standard Time.
All countries should stick with standard time year round with light morning in winter and less light evenings during summer . Light in the morning gives us more sleep and evening light delays our body clock so trouble falling asleep at night
I prefer standard time which is better for my sleep and performance
@@tahmidabdin4625 Absolutely. Well stated!
Also redraw the world’s time zone borders so they look as much as possible like the ideal straight lines up and down the globe.
@@m.e.d.7997 November clock change should be made permanent
To be honest
Clock change doesn’t create more daylight
What the point of doing it
@@oceanthresher6184 we can’t do that anymore
Country can decide which standard time zones they want to choose
Example Argentina are 3 hours earlier than GMT but ideal standard time is 4 hours earlier
The clock are 1 hour
In winter sunrise at 8am instead of changing the time to 7am
Sunset in winter 5:50pm instead of 4:50pm
He is looking at the wrong green in the last graph... resulting in an incorrect interpretation.
If this is really about kids, then they should be listening to scientists. Science shows that kids/teens brains are sleep deprived because of them needing to start school so early. It's hardwired, thus they should be starting later when it would be lighter anyway. So just end the clock change and push school's start time to a later part in the day. It'll be healthier and safer for everyone.
If it's somehow difficult to incorporate both, then just end changing the clocks and just keep it on the time that will always have earlier daylight starts. It doesn't change the amount of daylight per day anyway, it just is a fake way to supposedly shift when it happens. But in reality it's always happening the same way no matter what the clock says. They don't have some sort of control over the planet's rotation. All clocks are there to do is synchronize things. That's it. To keep flip-flopping them throws off the sync because people forget about it.
Yes. Better to go to permanent Standard time.
No all you need to do is stick with standard time
Standard time is best for health safety productivity and environment
All Humans need morning light so it reset our body clocks
Without it we will have more health problems
DST means dark morning
Stick with standard time which gives you more productivity and safety
School should start 8am or 9am
Hear me out... We stick with daylight savings time for more daylight in the evening when most people are getting off work/school. And kids don't go to school until later in the morning when the sun's coming up and kids learn better
The only reason school starts so early is because parents need a place to abandon their children for the day on their way to work. If school started at 9, who’s gonna babysit?
@@TheTigero honestly, if that was true than you would be able to schedule when your kids go to school so that they are there when you are actually at work, most people would be lucky to have a schedule that lands directly on the school day. The actual reasons have more to do with the children and busing cost.
@@TheTigero workplaces may not accommodate this and workers do not want to work into the evening.
@@TheTigero you already start school and work 1 hour earlier during daylight saving time
People want daylight saving time because sunset would be 1 hour later during winter
The problem is sunrise will be an hour later as well
Time is time it’s not to be changed
Switching times back and forth is ludicrous. In AZ where I live for some 30+ years we NEVER switched times back and forth. Same time, standard time, all year around. We never observed DST. I know it’s hard to believe, but we all survived it and in fact still do to this day.
Good for them. Dark in winter sure but to leave it regular or daylight “savings” there is still going to be a problems. The whole thing is aggravating.
Just the TRIBE wanting Total Control over everyone....using their legal scheme of JUST-US ...
I don't know why they kept that it was made for the farmers way back in the day we don't really need it anymore
Never was about farmers. Cows and corn have never used clocks. They don't have thumbs to reset them either. 😄
@@pourattitude4206 what do cows and corn have to do with a farmer needing an extra hour of daylight in the spring?
@@francisbaxter4663 livestock don't care what a clock says. They need milking when they need it.
Crops don't care either. No matter what a clock says they still get their time in the sun.
Changing clocks for farmers has always been a myth.
Back in WW II it was decided to use DST to create later days in the summer. This was due to the war effort. Later it was kept because the US Chamber of Commerce decided that it was better for the economy if people could shop later in the day.
@@pourattitude4206 the reason why we change clocks is to make better use of the sun during the day
Obviously changing clocks does not create more daylight but it does change the time on the clock
@@pourattitude4206 Just to do the chores on the farm and with the animals summer light in the early morning does help. A lot
I’ve literally seen my daughter leave for school every day this winter in the dark.. she is in school when the sun comes up, so why would it matter if the sun rises in her first period class or her second. She’s going to school in the dark either way. This is a weak argument for allowing it to be pitch black at 4 o’clock for 2 months.
You are only talking about your personal experience with your dtr. DST introduces more problems than it solves. Clocks need to be at standard all year around so that those who like to rise early and get outside are not disadvantaged.
@@hitenpatel3317 Hi Hiten! I’m on the East coast. I want daylight savings to stay because it gets dark I’d say at 7:30pm here and when it ends. It gets dark at 5:30pm. Which people are getting off of work at 5:00pm and they’re tired which causes wrecks on the highway. But over in Utah is a different story. I know Arizona never even touched there time.
Kids are out of school by 4:30p.They are let out of school before dark
if I had my way, only far west Texas and the Florida panhandle would be on "permanent daylight time", but really I would propose that ALL of Texas would be on Central time and ALL of Florida would be on Eastern time, El Paso MDT=CST year round ----and Pensacola CDT=EST year round. Let the rest of Texas & rest of Florida continue changing to daylight saving time in March, far W TX and NW FL would be on standard time year round.
I am fine with getting rid of it. I have epilepsy and even when I take my pills on time and get plenty of sleep daylight savings still affect me
Right? One hour makes a huge difference !!
Stevie Lynn it does
I don't think it's a good idea after realizing it would be dark for children who walk to school
That’s what I’m saying
People don’t understand that
Daylight saving time means more light later in the day according to the clock
Standard time means more light earlier in the day according to the clock
I love the extra hour we get this weekend. I think we should change the clocks every week. Make Monday and Tuesday each an hour shorter, then Saturday and Sunday an hour longer. That would be cool!
🥴
In Alaska students go to school in the dark all the time.
Jessica Benavides It’s not good; doesn’t make it right! Either change start of school or don’t have it. Children shouldn’t be going to school or waiting for buses IN THE DARK AND FRIDGED temps.
@@greenleavesofsummer9673 I don't think the darkness in Alaska has anything to do with changing your clock.
It would be dark no matter how many hrs you pushed forward or backwards. LOL
@@greenleavesofsummer9673 permanent DST is actually illegal in USA since 1966 also uniform time act
Standard time is best for health safety productivity environment education and it lets us sleep more
Sunrise is important
Lack of morning light can impact your health productivity and sleep
Standard time gives you an earlier sunrise which is more synced to the human body
Standard time is better than DST
Saving daylight into the evening is killing us and we sleep less
Standard time is the local time
So what they live in Alaska and they expect that. What does that have to do with rest of USA?
@@tonyaperry4763
Western parts of Alaska are in the wrong time zones
Sorry but this is dumb just leave it alone,if it's that dark at 7am I wouldn't want any kids walking to school to many crazy ppl and ppl who don't pay attention while driving.
Standard time is best for health safety productivity and environment
Standard is the actual time in a country
Humans need morning light so it reset our body clock
Without it we will have more health problems
DST is not a good idea because you have less light in the morning
Stick with standard time
So much drama and Bs with the story! Arizona doesn't do the daylight savings crap and you don't notice a difference it's so much easier on the kids not to keep having to adjust to the clock bring set forward and then being set back again. Kids are tired in the morning for school because they're not going to bed till 11 or 12 at night. I love living in Arizona I didn't have to worry about setting my clock forward or back it just seemed so much better and less stressful on the students and everyone in general
In reading so many comments on this video and others regarding this topic, I see why we still change clocks. It's like 50% of the country want DST to be permanent and the other 50% want standard to be permanent.
Texan here. I honestly just want A permanent time my mental clock can work with.
I'd rather have permanent DST to have more light in the afternoon. Children walk home in the dark in winter so that's even worse because there are more criminals. There are less crimes at 7am than 4 pm
So you really want darker mornings and lighter evening because that’s what daylight saving time does
Standard time it means lighter mornings but darker evenings
Kids get out of school before 4pm
You are not being realistic about this whole picture. Hard enough to get up in the am but when it's dark
@@m.e.d.7997 Getting up is easy. Grow up
@@quantum_immortal69 it is not going to ever be permanent. The morning darkness has in the past made the public want to reverse this.
I'm confused
don't change the clocks, change the schedules!
when you travel from Michigan City, Indiana to New Buffalo, Michigan, or vice versa, there is a one hour time difference, I say deal with time change! NW Indiana is on Central time, New Buffalo, Michigan is on Eastern time.
Hope this does not pass. And teachers like their nights at home. This will fail as it has in the past imho
You start your day early during DST
If school and work starts at 8am
And you wake up 7am
You are waking up at 6am during standard time because DST wants you to get up early
Heaven for bid anyone ever walks in the dark.
B Norris ; there are places I wouldn’t walk in daylight .
Robert Leidner We can go together so it’s not so scary!
B Norris ; too many kids would have to walk in the dark. As for, me, I have a small friend that sits on my belt, but thanks for the offer.😎
Robert Leidner Well there’s many other options to walking, the could skip, run, or jump in the dark. The possibilities are endless.
B Norris ; or they could go fishin in the dark,or dancing in the dark, this was fun,fair well.
2:22 You can LEGIT see that they are wrong in what they say. They say 6-9am most common in summer, but the key shows that time is 9pm-midnight.
Why do people say savings? It’s saving!
I used to say Savings when I was a kid didn't realize it was 'Saving'😂😂😂😂
Maybe change the school hours to later in the morning?
President tried it for two years in the 1970s and it was a fail. Many thought they would like it but didn't. Just leave it as it is. Spring forward in Spring and fall back in Winter. Wow so much energy to change clocks for two days a year months apart. Most don't get out in Winter months anyway that it would only be light out in Winter just one hour longer in DST to enjoy it anyway. In Winter months we don't see the sun sometimes for a few days anyway. Wow longer hours of sunlight in Winter means only one hour longer. Why don't they start schools at 9am instead of 8am. Only keep DST only for Summer months.
It’s pointless though, like you said it is just one hour. They should either leave it standard or permanent daylight savings time. You’ve just done it your whole life I assume and think it makes some sort of sense.
At most summers months should be from late May to late Sept. A fair compromise
i live on the left side of a time zone
And the states that never changed their clocks managed somehow.
We sacrifice so much for the alcoholic night time people who run the government and all the companies. We should all live at night for them? We sure will.
It’s ok .......
Mormons have always been in the dark.....🤪
:D :D :D Lets ask the bishops! One ward at a time
Hey NASA ,,, space X ,,,what's going on ? is there anything wrong with your cosmic clock's or in idiot a sundial ? Yoh ,,, "watch the moon".
End it!!! Heart attacks are increased as well as all the other risks mentioned. My kids will not be getting up an hour early for schools! I am the parent and have that right!! Ive already told my work place. I am staying on my biological clock!! I am not coming in an hour early. If they fire me I'll claim unemployment and emotional distress!!
Not during the time change
It’s during daylight saving time because you are saving light in the evening which affects your health
Lack of morning light can impact your health productivity and sleep
Daylight saving time makes later sunrise which impact your health during winter
Standard time is best for health safety productivity environment education
Those of us. Living in. That. Time. Zone. Has. Its. Benefits. And. Ya. Gotta. Just accept. The. Change. Its only. An hour. Forward. Or. Back we've. Lived with it. Eons. Of years. ! Unless you're. Nocturnal!
Lol. Fix your. Clock.
Just have schools start later:)
Its a scam we want it ended most people think they ate endi g it.
This was from 2020, and it still isn't a law. And now they're trying to do it again.
Am I the only one who isn't falling for this "Let's make daylight saving time permanent" joke anymore?
Even if they do try to make it permanent, it won't be permanent for long, after they realize that it doesn't get light out until about 8am in winter. (And if they made standard time permanent, in the summer, it would start getting light out at about 5am, and start getting dark out at about 4pm.
I say, even though it's a hassle, stick to changing your clocks twice a year. It's the only way to have the right amount of daylight all year long.
This is America. And I don't mean "soaring eagles and hot dogs and rifles" I mean the landmass in the northern hemisphere, right between the North Pole and the Equator. Changing clocks twice a year makes sense for America's place on Earth, just like 11 time zones makes sense for a gigantic country like Russia
I want permanent daylight savings time in Connecticut !

I hear you - I hate when it’s dark at 4 pm - Once it’s dark
outside I don’t want to go shopping and I can’t do anything outdoors like pressure washing my porch or fixing a fence - yes I can do it in daylight but I get more done when I more hours to do it in- I like to hike and camp outdoors but there is less hiking time and I have to set up my tent 🏕 before it gets dark 😟
I love Daylight Savings time and hope we do get it permanently- soon !
@@elnabjelland-hughes8172 ever hear of electric lighting? It’s amazing!
@@elnabjelland-hughes8172 your health won’t thank you. Permanent dst will actually be bad for it. Seriously, look it up. All the health experts recommend going to permanent STANDARD time instead, because it would disrupt our sleep less and make for improved health.
@@Shadowkey392
It will always light daylight savings time because I’m a vegetable gardener and I could work in the garden until like 9 o’clock at night .
I never liked Fall and Winter for the time element- it got dark early and people seemed to disappear into their homes - I missed the camaraderie we had as neighbors. Energy level decreased - I gained weight - Spring was my savior 😂
My health is in decline now and I look forward to every inch of daylight even more - I do understand how people don’t share my love of DST though .
@@elnabjelland-hughes8172
If you stay on daylight saving time
It means that your clocks will show later time
Having later time means we have to wake up in the dark
Boo fucking hoo.... I walked to school in the dark and survived
LOL
