You Are Gonna Lose Some Sleep This Weekend In New Jersey💤

This weekend it's daylight saving time and with that, we get longer days as we spring ahead one hour on Saturday (March 9th) before you go to bed. Many folks love this time of year when we get daylight savings and longer days.

The issue of daylight saving time has become a bigger issue in 19 states here in the U.S. as they look at possibly keeping daylight saving time in effect year-round. This way they have longer days with a later sunset throughout the year.

According to USA Today, the states where the issue of daylight saving time and whether to keep it year-round are: Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Idaho, Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas, Delaware, Maine, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, Florida, and California.

New Jersey is NOT on the list, but I think we could be. Days get shorter in fall and winter anyway, so why not make it a little less dark by keeping daylight saving time in effect year-round here in the Garden State? I would be in favor of this and here is what YOU had to say....

The Debate Over Daylight Savings Time Continues

Bob: Definitely think turning back and ahead is soooo Stupid, KEEP THE DAYLIGHT

Evelyn: Yes. Some of us have Seasonal Effectiveness Disorder and cannot tolerate the time change

Betty: No! I worry about high school kids standing on a corner in the dark, to catch a school bus.

Angela: Absolutely

Nikki: I don't mind it ...

Ellen: YES!!! Prices are going up on everything - it's gonna cost more to light and heat with longer nights than ever!

Jeff: I hate the setting clocks back, it gets dark too early and I'm not a morning person so I lose the daylight

How do YOU feel? should we keep daylight saving time year-round or do our clock changes every fall and spring?
