Discuss: Should Daylight Saving Time Be Scrapped?

Ugh! It's your editor's worst day of the year. The 23-hour day. As if we didn't have enough time as it is!

(Conversely, the switchback to Pacific Standard Time is dreamy.)

The twice-a-year chore known as “spring forward, fall back” returns at Saturday night, when Californians set their clocks ahead for the sake of Daylight Saving Time. It takes effect at 2 a.m. Sunday—amid grumbling and calls for abolition.

For folks crossing the border, it’s a resumption of a twice-a-year headache. Mexico doesn’t switch to DST until the first Sunday in April, which means a one-hour time difference for binational folks.

Most of Arizona, meanwhile, ignores Daylight Saving Time, further confusing travelers without automatic time-resetting devices.

Is it time to abolish the twice-a-year drill?
