Should Daylight Saving Time End In NC? Take Our Survey

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 14 this year, and we want to know what you think about it in North Carolina.

NORTH CAROLINA — Spring is nearly here, temperatures are warming, which means it won't be long before we'll all be adjusting our body clocks to springtime time change.

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 14 this year in North Carolina. Not all states in the U.S. change their clocks during the year, however. Hawaii and Arizona have long opted out of the practice while other states, such as Georgia, have proposed laws to end the practice altogether. (The Georgia physician who sponsored the bill said the twice-yearly time switch hurts Georgians' health — and makes them cranky.)

Patch wants to know what you think about Daylight Saving Time in North Carolina. We've created a survey with questions about what you love and hate about it most, and how you think any tinkering with it could impact your quality of life.

The survey is not meant to be a scientific poll, with random sampling and margins of error. It's meant only to gauge the sentiments of our readers in an informal way. But we hope it gives a broad idea of attitudes in the community as we all reach for our clocks to change the time.
