Question of the Week

We want to hear from you

Should we stop turning the clocks back?

Daylight saving time ended last weekend. Are you worn out from your young children happily waking up an hour early? Does it deflate you to abruptly start commuting home in the dark—or cause you to feel less safe? Some researchers have said that crime increases after the clocks are turned back in the fall.

The switch from daylight saving time also causes spending to decrease Yahoo Finance reported.

So this week, we’d like to ask you: Should we stop turning the clocks back? Or is having the sun rise after 7 a.m. really just as bad?

Posted by PRH: "I'm a Brit and went to law school in England. I'd watched E.G. Marshall's The Defenders U.S. TV show in the early '60s and decided that's what I wanted to be. But to my disappointment, I found as an English trial lawyer that English trials were just not like those in the U.S. I'm now a law professor. If I had my time again, I'd qualify as a U.S. attorney and live out the dream I had as an 11-year-old kid."
