Not a big deal, I don't really like DST, but again not a big deal. That being said, what is it that you like (if you're for DST)? Does is just conveniently fit your lifestyle / job, or would you prefer DST regardless of any factors?
I prefer standard time because it fits a lot of ideals specific to me. I'm a morning person anyway, I prefer it getting daylight at an earlier time. I do not sleep late, ever. Even on a Sunday morning, I'm up at 5:00-ish, and I just have to roam around the house waiting on daylight. Can't do crap. I don't have a back-loaded daily schedule, I hit the ground running, and by the time I leave work, I'm mentally done...I don't want to "get busy" after I leave work. I hate "killing time" in the evenings waiting on it to get dark. I go to bed relatively early (average around 9:30PM). Geez, in the Summer, it's barely dark at 8:30. By the time it gets dark, and you get inside and get cleaned up, you're only 2.5 (+,-) hours from midnight. I like to turkey hunt before work in the mornings, and DST costs me an hour of daylight. Fortunately I can come in when I want to, but I don't need to be late nevertheless. I hate losing that hour. I love it getting dark so early during deer season. I can hunt till total dark, and still be home by 6:00. I haven't pissed away my whole evening. In the Summer when it don't even get dark till 8:30, I can't stand to go fishing.... by the time I get home it's 9:00 or later, and by the time you put the boat up and get a shower, it's dang near 10:00 and I ain't even eat yet. Did I mention in the Summer it's only slightly more than 3 hours from midnight when it gets dark? That's weird as @#$#@! Based on our latitude line, even without DST, you have an average of 15 hours of daylight in the Summer months (compared to 12 hours in the Winter months)
But I realize 90% of people don't live that way, so it makes sense to go DST and cater to the majority.
The biggest thing I dislike about DST is for fishing in late spring - summer. Too hot to fish during the day, if I want to fish until dark, it will be 11:00 by the time I get the boat out of water clean fish drive home and put the boat up.
