Does Alaska observe Daylight Saving Time?

Like most states in the U.S., Daylight Saving Time is observed in Alaska, where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour, resulting in an 8 hours difference behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-8).

After the Summer months the time is shifted back by 1 hour resulting in the normal 9 hours difference behind GMT.

In Alaska, DST means Darkness Shifting Time!

Yep, we go to DST which is ridiculous because in another 6 weeks we’ll have nothing BUT daylight so who cares??? Those of us below the Arctic Circle will have about 2 hours of dusk from 2-4AM. Those ABOVE the Arctic Circle will have complete sunshine 24 hours a day, all summer.
