I absolutely dread daylight saving, it is just under 2 months away and already I am trying to prepare myself. I would actually say the "HATE" word against it. It plays havoc on my body and mind. I have even contemplated living in a country that doesn't have it.

Daylight saving is stupid. It doesn't change the number of daylight hours in a day, it just upsets the timing of everything in NZ. There are no benefits to anyone, and makes life difficult for parents with school age children.

My body clock is telling me to sleep at 7pm when it starts getting dark. My evenings are gone, im tired all the time, and it is for no reason whatsoever outside of an outdated tradition we do without question.

Please keep the summer time for NZ. Not sure it has ever made any sense, but definitely doesn't now.

Daylight savings makes me depressed as heck. We need those lighter evening to boost morale and more light to feel a bit safer in the earlier evening!

This needs to be available for the public to see. Daylight savings is not good for your internal clock it's bad for farmers shift workers and creates less productivity at work in general with people constantly adjusting. It doesn't bring more daylight hours it just means people on the benefit stay in bed longer and drink later in the day

its 2025, why we still doing this? Monday morning after day light savings is the worse day of the year.

It is outdated, and does not have any benefits, but cause more harm! 63% of the civilized world abolished this law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep standard NZ time all year round. In summer days are longer naturally and farmers and families with children much prefer waking up to daylight than getting up in the dark.
