I get the blahs this time of year

It’s getting cold outside, I’m a summer kind of girl…It’s getting darker quicker, I like the sunlight!  It’s not so much the cold that is giving me the blahs, it’s the getting dark at 5:30pm!  I feel like every time we change the clocks, even MORE people get on board with never changing the clocks again.

According to a new survey, only 7% of people say they like this current system of changing the clocks once in the spring and then again in the fall.

66% of people say they’d like to get rid of Daylight Saving Time, so basically, this coming spring, we just wouldn’t change the clocks.  And 50% say they’d like to get rid of Standard Time.

Obviously, there’s some overlap between those groups from people who just want to stop the time changes, regardless of whether we get rid of Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time to make that happen.
