Russia doesn’t observe dayligth saving any longer since previous year or something. However, due to us giving up moving time back and forth in a sort of not really appropriate manner, the russian clock is outrunnig significantly in comparison with European time.

Our president said that “cows and other animals don’t realize what’s going on when farmers come to milk or feed, etc. them an hour earlier than usually which results in reducing the amount of milk produced”

He’d probably better take care of his citizens more than cows))

Yes, Poland does observe daylight savings.Actually I got used to that and it doesn’t problem for me. It is hard to get up 1 hour earlier but only first (maybe second) day and then it’s fine. I like when I wake up and I can see the sun shinning through my window. I don’t know if it is relevant today but for sure I don’t wanna change this :)

A short time ago we thought about stopping observe it but we haven’t so far.

what about nightlight savings :$

Ok, I’ve read the lesson and your posts too. Dispite what tells the lesson I guess from your message that the real reason TODAY for going on with the Daylight Savings is not for agricolture but for saving electricity.

So I agree this system expecially in those Cauntries where are fightening against the crisis, which are a lot nowdays

we don’t have daylight saving in china .it is my first time to know  daylight saving. The famer in old china don’t rely on clock. they get up farming when the rooster  crow, and they come back for relaxing when the sun sets.

In Japan we don’t observe daylight savings. I have an experience that I was confused by daylaight saving when I had a tele conference with Australian coworkers. I was misunderstood the time when the conference starts. It was about more than ten years ago, I didn’t familier with when was the date change to daylight saving. But now we can check by the internet when the daylight saving starts in each country.  I have found a home page which shows the daylight saving around the world;

IN TURKEY WE OBSERVE DAYLIGHT SAVING BUT I THINK IT IS  UNNECESSARY AND NONSENSICAL APPLICATION BECAUSE THERE IS ANY BENEFIT OF IT EXCEPT PLAYING WITH THE WATCH!.)

I live in Italy where we observe daylight savings and i believe that’s a very smart decision setting the clock either back or forward because it helps to save energy and consequently avoid waste of energy. That’s very important considering the fossil combustible burned for produce electric energy feeding light bulbs. So, people who think daylight savings is old-fashioned don’t know very well what means pay the energy bill and They don’t care to keep the World clean.

My country doesn’t observe daylight savings. I think the farmers here can adjust the work and relax time in spring and autumn freely.

I don’t know why the daylight savings time still exists in the US now. I agree with Lily and Greta. It really a little outdated.

I think daylight savings is as good for agricultural as for other workers in any field. Tunisia has used it since 9 years.

BEFORE 10 YEARS THER WAS ADAYLIGHT IN MY COUNTRY ,BUT NOW WE DONT HAVE IT ,BUT AS I SEE ITS IMPORTANT AND WE NEED IT.

i get that why countries are supposed to do that saving some daylight thus they’ll save some money as well .at house’s lamps are going to on later 1 hour than usual times i mean springs we set forward 1 hour ,i support that idea but i really dont understand why do countries set back in fall no sense our government has been referring about not setting back next fall but they never carry out this idea.we’re fallowing other EU countries as before

yes here in Syria we have daylight saving

and i think we need it

its important for the peaple here

During many years we used daylight savings in our country. Some years ago our government decided that action was a relic and we stopped to turn the clocks ahead and back. 

For me now I don’t see a big difference without using daylight savings. Although I need to agree that I feel better without using this action. Certainly you don’t feel happiness at fall but you don’t feel any disappointment at spring. On the other hand you live, wake up and work without any commotion. Definitely that fact is very pleasant and become a great virtue in that question.

It is very pity to see how sometimes in those countries where daylight savings work people feel a lot discomfort. They live a half day in quiet darkness. In such cases all positive sides of that action don’t exist for them.

I suppose that the authorities must consider that question keep in mind the specific characteristics of that region where using daylight savings. Certainly it is the ideal solution:)

Here in Brazil, daylight savings is faced as a way to save electrical energy, because people usually turn the lights on later (the daylight is longer).

Then, in times when electrical energy consumption normally reaches its peak, during daylight savings there is an economy of about 4,5%. It represents an economy of US$2 milion during these 3 months (data from 2012-2013 daylight saving)

I really like daylight savings (except the few days after it starts, because my biological clock still remains in the “normal” schedule). It’s really good to leave my job and see the sun! It seems like I am leaving earlier, and I think I could spend the rest of my day in an opened place.

our country was used to do that but not more, about me i love the fall bakc not the spring forward but both of them are not exist now here in Egypt :)

For me it’s ok, I’m so busy that these slight changes doesn’t affect me more or less.

It’s just done to extend daylight hours, to conserve fuel, there’s less need to use artificial light; howerver these changes takes its toll on people health. Got to break the habbit of rising earlly or sleeping in one more hour.

Some blame the  growing number of heart attacks on DayLight savings. Especially when you spring forward.

The only not fair thing is that we’re granted one more hour for only 4 months and for 8 months got to sleep with an hour missing :)

In my country ,except in one province , daylight saving  is not observed  anymore.  Unlike Manu,  I agree with Inetika,  the day  we  fall back our  clocks  we sleep one extra hour, but  I am not 100 per cent sure if my guess is correct. 

<p>In my country we have daylight saving. But I think that it is not useful. Our agricultural workers always wake up with sun. And don’t matter what time it is. But most people in country have problems with there biological clocks.</p>
