Well I am an 'alaskan' now and I haven't noticed any issues with it - or people complaining about it.
The funny thing... sunrise was at 736a yesterday and today it is at 833 or something. In 3 weeks it will be 736a again. Ahhh the joys of gaining almost 6 minutes of daylight a day. |
well it's what i read at wiki once

Alaska currently observes DST, but there is a statewide move to abolish it. As of July 24, 2006, Alaska's lieutenant governor Loren Leman approved a petition to collect signatures to put the initiative measure on the ballot by 2008. Due to its high latitude, Alaska has nearly round-the-clock daylight during summer and DST is seen by some Alaskans as unnecessary and a nuisance. Another issue is that the Alaskan mainland's single time zone is too wide and there is a large disparity between civil time and solar time with solar noon occurring as late as 3:00 P.M. by the clock in places like Nome, Alaska. Others argue that ending daylight saving time will place Alaska as much as five hours from Eastern Daylight Time, making coordination of travel and phone conversations more difficult |
