Doesn't save energy at my house. Instead of using lights for an hour or two at night, now I use lights for an hour or two in the morning.

I hate it too. I would rather be on standard time. At the very least pick DST or standard and stick with it. It must be making some billionaire richer or we would have stopped doing this switch.

There's an old Zen story about how the young initiate asked the Master: "How do you practice Zen?"

"When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm tired, I sleep," he replied.

That's really all there is to it.

About 2014, my body got used to getting up at 0400 to go turkey hunting, and it never stopped. That means I end up going to bed early and waking up ridiculously early, but that's what my body's telling me to do. I do it. I tried to fight it at first, but I found out this was not to be. It's handy for hunting, and I've found it is handy for a lot of other things. I get most of my work done for the day before sunrise.

Eating? I'm diabetic. I found one of the best ways to deal with it was to do a strict routine of eating. I eat 3 meals a day with a day-to-day variation of only a few minutes. I eat when I'm hungry and my body pretty much picked that time.

EST? EDT? It doesn't really matter. Over the winter I've been going to bed around 7. After the time change, it moved to 8.

Up north, daylight savings keeps us from having civil
twilight at 3:30 AM during the summer. Sunrise would be 4:10 AM. It would be my preference to remain on DST year-round so its not pitch black by 4:40 PM in the winter. We have an 8 hour shift in daylight between the winter and summer solstice. 16 hours daylight in the summer, 8 hours in the winter. In Houston, the shift is 4 hours.

Pros and cons.....

Now I can get stuff done in daylight after I get home from work.

Plus riding a bicycle home through a rough area is safer in daylight. Dark mornings I don’t mind, all the thugs are still asleep.

OTOH when they set the clocks back in the Fall, I leave my watch on summer time, means I have an extra hour to work out before work.

I prefer DST.

I dont need light at 5AM but I can sure put it to good use in the evenings after work.

Getting to sleep an extra hour in Turkey season is a bonus too

It doesnt seem to effect me much. I been getting up at around 4:30-4:45 am for decades and I go to bed around 8:30-9 pretty much every night. I would prefer that the time didn't change. I dont have the kind of job were I have to be at the office at 8 and I don't have much going on outside in the evening.

I like DST. Wish they'd leave us on DST year 'round as I dislike the changes.

Being retired, and not having to punch anyone's clock but my own, I don't care one way or another. Either way, I still have to do my chores around the place.
