Arizona doesn't do daylight saving time.

Oh? It's so confusing, all these differences per state, hihi. I would've thought summer/wintertime would've been nation-wide.

Same here. Even these days at 58, I rarely get to bed before midnight or get up before ten in the morning unless I have to.

Same for me :) I take it you don't work either then?
I look after my brother who is agoraphobic, so I don't work in that sense no.

Breaking news: I've just read that the European parliament is debating scrapping the clock change, so in two years time it might remain fixed. All they have to decide on is fixing it to the Spring or Winter hours.

Ah, indeed to Germans, to use less coal.
Yes, I thought it had something to do with saving resources but I couldn't quite remember what it was for exactly. You're quite right about the ridiculously short days here in Winter. At its worst, it's something like six hours of daylight, from about nine in morning until three in the afternoon. Ugh. Still, I suppose it could be worse, Imagine being somewhere like Northern Norway or Finland.happy

well there are 13 countries you could move to for the most daylight hours
and most of them are always on either gmt standard or dst without the swapping back and forthbigsmile

It's something to consider. Maybe one of the equatorial countries.

Lots of countries who don't change to summer and/or winter time.
Funny enough what I saw these were mostly poor and warm(er) countries. And a number probably close to the equator. I doubt it'd matter much then.
When I lived in Indonesia it was always dark around 18.00. It didn't get cold though.
At first it was odd, but you do get used to it.
