Mahtseelah: It all has to do with my children. When daylight-saving time comes, we can stay in the park later. We can ride our bikes later. I don’t like driving at night. I’m from Los Angeles. I’m a city girl and my eyes haven’t quite adjusted to the darkness here. The lights aren’t even the same in the city of Atlanta. And if you go anywhere outside an eight-mile radius of Atlanta, it’s darker still. I prefer to drive in the day.

Matt: I don’t like it. I’m a musician and I like playing shows when it’s dark. It’s hard to start shows when the sun is up. A lot of people end up coming out later, so a lot of times it puts the start times back even further. When the sun is down it makes you feel like, ‘hey, no problem,’ like you can go out and start doing stuff. I think music and darkness go hand in hand. Some of the best music comes out of hole-in-the-wall dark clubs.

Mandy: I changed my clock weeks ago. I wanted an extra hour of daylight, so I ended up going to bed an hour earlier, waking up an hour earlier, and going to work an hour earlier, so I can get out an hour earlier. I did it as soon as it started to get warm. I was getting to work at 8 rather than at 9. When daylight-saving time comes, I’m going to try to keep my hour. Maybe even I’ll have to add an extra hour.
