In the US Daylight Saving Time is the practice of turning clocks ahead one hour in the spring and back by one hour in the fall Why do states such as Arizona and Hawaii choose not to do it?

Answer 1

The time change is most advantageous to northern states where there is more variance in the number of daylight hours from summer to winter. Southern staes where this is less of a factor may not see the need for it.

Answer 2

States like Arizona and Hawaii choose not to observe Daylight Saving Time because there is less need for it due to their location. These states have consistent sunlight throughout the year, so the time change is not as beneficial or necessary compared to other states. Additionally, there are concerns about the impact of the time change on energy consumption, health, and productivity.
