Let's say that where they live the sun came up last week at 6am and set at 5pm. <br /> <br /> So last week they had their lights on from 5pm to 11pm.<br /> <br /> This week, with daylights savings time the sun comes up at 7am and sets at 6pm. So this week they have their lights on from 6pm to 11pm. That's one hour less of electric usage.<br /> <br /> For those that get up at least an hour before sunrise, it wouldn't really make any difference. The total usage would probably be the same. But for those that would have been sleeping during some portion of daylight hours it can make a difference. <hr /><a name="a6286_15"></a><p><b>From: Doc (GREAT_ATLANTIC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.15">#15</a>]<br /> 12 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.14">#14</a>] 12 Mar 2007</p> Ah....gotcha'. Since I normally get up at 6:00 am and go to bed at midnight, the affect is really non-existant....correct? Same number of hours in the dark and light as would be the case without daylight saving? <hr /><a name="a6286_16"></a><p><b>From: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.16">#16</a>]<br /> 12 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: Doc (GREAT_ATLANTIC)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.15">#15</a>] 12 Mar 2007</p> <p>If it changes the total number of hours that you are in the dark, then it does have an effect. If you get up at sunrise or later then you (theoretically) aren't using much electricity for lighting in the morning. If going to DST makes the sunset later for you and you go to bed at the same time with or without DST, then you are in the dark for an hour less in the evening with DST, so using an hour less lighting.</p> <p>It's not about getting the full day of sunlight as much as it about how long you spend awake in the dark.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Mar 2007 by DAVERJ</p> <hr /><a name="a6286_17"></a><p><b>From: basehorawards</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.17">#17</a>]<br /> 13 Mar 2007<br /><b>To: LaZerDude (C_BURKE)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6286.2">#2</a>] 13 Mar 2007</p> <p>Chuck,</p> <p>I just read that the Navaho Indian Reservation in Arizona does use DST.
