I love it when I do not have to turn the light on that early, that is, except on bath nights. Now I usually take a full bath on Saturday and Tuesday evenings, and a bath where I do not wash my hair on Mondays, and Thursdays, but after that, I want to put on mykimono and just lounged around the house. Now with Standard Time, I could take a bath at eight and it would be getting dark already, but now I have to wait until nine, and that means that since I go to bed at 10:30 not much time to wait for my hair to be decent enough to dry.
Now take this in consideration, that we do not have an ensuite, just an overlarge closet. And you can see what bugs me about Daytime Savings Time. I do not want to get dressed again and then undressed in a couple of hours.
Now what bugs you about Daylight Savings Time? At least in the summer I could put on an old t-shirt and shorts.

I always figure that it is almost dark when we have supper and now we have it when the sun is still shining?

The only thing that bugs me about DST is it's not permanent like I want it to be. I'd rather have the extra light in the evening so I can stay outside longer. My energy peaks in the late afternoon/evening so that's when I usually work out in the yard.

I hate it when it goes back to Standard Time and i have to turn the clocks back. With the leds, you have to turn off the clock. With the regular analogue clocks ou just have to move the hand back.

our living room is very dark so the lights are on, all the time actually. My son and I go to bed at different times and get up at different times so we are always using the lights.

My husband wants to keep the lights on all the time, and I think it would be unnecessary if he opened the curtain in the front room once in a while. I sometimes feel ZI have to open the door to see if it is still light outside. But I still would rather day light time came at the end of April when it is spring. It snowed after this one and it did not feel exactly like spring.

If I had a kimono that looked dressed up, I would not mind, but mine looks like the kind that says you just got out of the bath and are waiting until it is dark enough to go to bed. At least, the blinds are pulled all the time in our house. My husband does not like people looking into our living room.
