I'm weird, but I tend to regard "time" as an offset of UTC. AZ, for example, is UTC -7 [hours], all the time. Smile When you change to/from DST, you change your UTC offset. Eastern time moves between UTC -4 and UTC -5.
 
I was wary (more curious) about how I would react to it when we retired and moved to AZ. Like Tom, I very quickly acclimated to the single UTC offset, and much prefer it to moving the offset back and forth. I get up at 6:00 every morning. Some parts of the year, it is dark then, some parts it is light. No big deal. There are things you can do at 6:00am in the dark that are fun, likewise at 6:00am when it is light.
 
Some AZ small businesses do make an adjustment called "summer hours", where they open earlier and close earlier. This is not so much due to the light as it is to the heat (though they go hand-in-hand here).
