Answer: Daylight Saving Time

Clues: “Change” and “Clock”

It’s that time of the year again:  Time to change our clocks.  And even though fewer and fewer clocks need to be manually changed, roughly 0% of us like this process, especially in the spring, when we lose an hour.

Most Americans will “spring forward” into Daylight Saving Time this Sunday morning at 2:00 A.M.

The debate over ending Daylight Saving Time has been kicking around for decades now.

More than 1.3 million users voted, and 58% of people prefer being “an hour later” with Daylight Saving Time, while 42% of people want an “hour earlier” of sunshine with Standard Time.

In a previous poll, 21% of people said they think changing the clocks the way we’re doing it is still the best option.  62% want to stop shifting the clocks, and the other 17% are undecided.

Of people who want to stop doing it, 50% think we should switch to permanent Daylight Saving Time.  31% want permanent Standard Time.

19% of Americans prefer waking up when it’s dark out.  Something that happens more because of Daylight Saving Time.
