For me, I'm waking up earlier and it seems like I have more free time on my hands if that makes any sense at all.

Yes! It is a new experience for me every year. You have to check which TZ each survey site is originally based in so you know when to sign on for the next day's surveys!  And the 24hr limit applies to "their" Time Zone not yours, so you can't do some offers until the time elapses in their TZ!   :-\

I know I hate the time change too.  I really wish they would just leave it be.  AZ doesn't change their time.

It takes me at least three weeks to adjust to the time changes.  Why can't they just leave it be!

I wonder why this time it seems so much worse to everybody.  We voted to not change the time here in California, but I do not know when that will kick in.  They say there are a large increase in auto accidents, heart attacks when the time changes each time.

I wish they would make up their minds and make the time so it doesn't change twice a year.  It is hard to adjust to! >:(

When we change back to fall one is the easiest one for me, get a couple of extra hours this time of year.

We were out West when time changed this year.  We were staying in NV and visiting relatives in AZ (right across Colorado River).  We had to designate AZ or NV time when we planned on meeting since AZ didn't change time.  It got confusing.  Most places had two clocks up - one for AZ time and one for NV time.

The time change bothers me, because I prefer when the eveinings are longer, and we have a litte more daylight to outside chores around the house...

I do not get why people get so freaked and bent out of shape over the time change.  It does not change anything but the number on the clock.  I do not believe there are heart attacks or car accidents because of the time changing.  No different than if you watch stops and you are an hour or so off and don't realize it is not the time your watch says it is.

I worked in the mental health field for 20 years and the time change can affect people. People that are dealing with depression and need sunlight have a harder time at this time of year. I know that I do better when there is more daylight hours. I also am not a fan of winter. When it finally gets warmer and the time changes in March, I can then start feeling like doing more things. When it gets dark at 5:30 pm, I feel like I need to go to bed.

Spring forward or Fall back which time change do you like best? When I was going to school, I hated Fall back because there wasn't enough time in the day to do anything! I was always depress doing those times. I like Spring forward because the days seems to last longer.  I wish we could chose one time zone for all.
