    Welcome back to the darkest timeline. How to stay sane this winter

    by Jessica Roy, Los Angeles Times Nov 04, 2021 6 minutes

    LOS ANGELES -- You've scarcely finished your Halloween candy and pan de muerto and are just starting to contemplate this year's holiday decor. Unfortunately, the grimmest of all annual holidays is upon us: the end of daylight saving time.

    Welcome back to the darkest timeline.

    At 2 a.m. Sunday, the clocks roll back an hour and the bleak winter days descend. Farewell, post-6 p.m. sunsets. Hello, feeling like it's 10 p.m. by the time you sit down for dinner.

    It shouldn't have to be this way. And in California, we voted for it to not be: In 2018, 60% of voters said yes to a proposition to leave daylight saving time in place year-round. Most people hate changing the clocks, and the "spring forward, fall back" ritual doesn't actually help farmers or schoolchildren. Yet the tradition persists, and the vote was unfortunately not binding. Could we fix this at the federal level? Yes. But we haven't. Blame political inertia.
