*snooze* we changed hour (ended)

I'll be honest - daylight savings is something I don't think I'll ever understand.

Nope, no longer in use here. Back in the late 2000's the national government tried to bring the summer timezone back but after testing it for a couple of years almost all the provinces refused to comply anymore so they just dropped it, we're in the wrong timezone to begin with anyway and people refuse to fix it because everyone got used to it.

Bumpzzzzz

Yeah, we still do it. I don't really care about it. Can wake up whenever I want. 😛
But it's getting dark earlier now. That's nice!
(except when you take a "short" midday nap and wake up in the dark 🙄)

Thanks for the giveaways!

There has been a lot of talks in Europe about stopping it but it just gets pushed forward and forward. They even agreed upon it in 2019 to end it in 2021 and then nothing happened! (⊙_☉)
I wish they would just abolish it already. It's so unnecessary in my opinion.

We have it here, and I don't have any strong feelings about it. Thanks for the GAs ^^

we do it, and every year they say this is the last year.. then it happens and nothing changes.. 🤷

I hate it. Especially the part when I try to sleep but my kids are waking up how they are used to (ignoring artificial time). For example clock is showing 5:30 and they are waking us up because for them it's still 6:30 xD

We do it here, but the worst part is some states don't. So you end up in border town situations where the time changes simply by crossing over. It might be useful in some niche circumstances, but for the most part, it just creates more confusion than anything else.

This year, all my clocks changed automatically, but for some reason, one of my phones kept the old time until I turned it off and on again, even though it was set to change automatically.

Save the daylight and free the nipple :}

My country got rid of daytime saving this very year, but it sure has been troublesome to coordinate games and sessions with friends in other countrys that still use it. But it was annoying prior aswell; since some countrys used to change their clocks a week or weeks before or after us.

Its quite fascinating how people collectively decide to change their clocks and readjust themselves. My time zone thankfully is safe from such manipulations.😌

As an electrical engineer, I understand the technical justification. I also think it's pretty bad and outdated and has ceased to make sense quite a while ago.

As a citizen, I hate it. Thankfully some years ago our government decided to let go of it and hasn't gone back on this decision yet.

I'll just hit snooze one more time...

Well, twice a year you can use the excuse "I forgot to change my clock's time!" (well if you don't use your smartphone to wake you up.)

When normal time returns in autumn, like now, I don't really notice it. Except that I wake up an hour too early. But in the spring it's a whole different story, it messes up my sleep cycle so very badly. Last spring it took three weeks before I could sleep properly again. I really, honestly, hate this stupid concept.

It's a nuisance but at least we magically get an extra hour this time of year, instead of losing one.

Good bump!

When the EU polled us about summertime time I was part of the minority voting in favor of keeping it. And I don't mind that they fail to end it because they can't come up with an alternative that suits all EU countries better. :-p
