It’s that time of year again. This Sunday at 2 a.m., we’ll “fall back” as Daylight Saving Time comes to an end for 2025.
While gaining an extra hour of sleep sounds nice in theory, the reality of earlier sunsets and darker evenings can be a tough adjustment for many. By the end of next week, the sun will be setting before 5 p.m. in Arlington, leaving many commuters heading home in the dark.
In March 2024, we asked readers what they planned to do with the extra evening daylight. Now we want to know: what aspect of the time change are you dreading most?
(And many of you are dreading it: most respondents to two previous ARLnow polls wanted the extra hour of evening daylight year round.)
Whether it’s disrupted sleep schedules, seasonal blues, or just the overall gloom of evening commutes, let us know which you are least looking forward to, below.
