There was a lot of anger about the extension of Daylight Savings Time until the end of October, some of it focused on how it would affect the Yom Kippur experience. I am curious how it actually affected your Yom Kippur - was your fast harder, was davening longer, was it easier, in what way did it actually affect your Yom Kippur experience?
Davening by us did not start later than usual, even though the shuls got that extra hour of daytime tacked on at the end of the day. Instead, we had a two and a half hour break after Mussaf. That was great. I was able to go home and lay down, and even sleep a little and rest up for the end of the davening.. I did not notice any difference in the fasting - it was not more difficult for me due to the day being "longer". It was not hotter in shul due to more daylight hours - the air conditioning worked fine.
How did DST affect your Yom Kippur experience?
