its almost that time of year again when we set the clocks back and it becomes darker earlier. I love longer days going to miss the sunsets at 7:42 :-[
-
I will be happy to get that one time extra hour of sleep.
Of course it throws off the internal biological clock.
-
I'll be loving the extra hour of sleep too!

amy122185~ I agree, psychologically, I feel like I can get more things done or have more time when the day is longer. When the night comes to quickly, I get depressed cause I feel like I'm running out of time to do or get anything down. I do like the extra sleep but not the short days. I know that this was created cause it was a way for farmers to set harvest time but why inflict everyone w/this? This fall back or spring forward really is a downer for people who have what is called seasonal depression. When the sun isn't up long enough this causes sever depression for those who have seasonal blues. Yap, I've have a mild case or maybe cause I take depression pills it's not as bad as when I was younger & didn't know why during this time I felt like, I was dying until spring sprang back. :peace: :wave:
-
I agree with you in the fact that I do not enjoy the time change. I enjoy haveing longer afternoon hours.
-
I love the extra hour of sleep, but hate the shorter days. I'm a night person without a car and it's hard enough to get things done now.
-
You don't actually get to sleep in an extra hour since you're going to sleep an hour earlier. I want summer back because I'm over it being dark at 7 when I'm trying to do things
-
It's really strange but it's part of nature. The extra one hour of sleep also does the body good...
-
I love the daylight saviings time when we can fall back and get an extra hour of sleep because I have sleep problems, but I have trouble with the spring forward time of the year and losing that hour of sleep for the same reason. It's hard for me to adjust at first. I probably wouldn't have a daylight savings time at all if it was me, but I guess they found it necessary for whatever reason. I don't really see the need for it. I guess it's ok, but I wonder why it's needed sometimes.
-
I like longer days too -- sunlight until 8pm.
I notice already that it gets dark earlier.
-
:wave: when i was ypunger i liked the long day light hours because i participated in sports now at my age i like the extra hour of sleep. wow i sound like an old man lol
-
I dislike it as well. I wish they would just leave it!
-
Me neither it's so depressing to me. I hate it when the sun sets at 5pm. Hate it! :'(
-
Thats the only part of the fall/winter season that I do not like. Here in N.C. it seems to get dark around 4:30 in the evening. I like it much better in the summer when it doesn't get dark to around 9pm....
-
This daylight savings thing is totally new to me. It's been explained why it is happening, but it still does not make sense to me. I am used to going with the flow (nature wise) and in winter I knew that the days are shorter and I had to get up in the dark and come home from work in the dark and the other way around in summer. Yikes, still trying to figure out this thing....... :BangHead:
-
Yeah, but we get an extra hour of sleep. ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
im with ladavia89 we go to bed an hour early so were not really gaining an hour of sleep maybe just that one day :dontknow:
-
Is it this coming Sunday we change back? I wish we didn't do it.
-
Whether anyone look forward to it or not, we still have to adapt to the universal laws of nature. At least everyone will have one extra hour of sleep.
-
I wish we remained on the same time all year but I will be glad to get started earlier in the morning. I just don't like daylight saving time.
-
I will be so happy to get that extra hour sleep
-
I would of forgotten all about this...every year..at least it is on a sunday, my only day off
-
I am not looking forward to falling behind either. I wonder where to move to escape the whole getting darker earlier and winter thing.
-
I said okay you think you are evil enjoy the sunset or even earlier and not interfere with everything else is going on around you at that time a day. So just enjoy it is what life is all about. What I require heavenly father push you here on earth so you can enjoy life and learn to be like him!
-
I have only been in Arizona for 3 years, but I absolutely love the fact there is no time change. I have always resisted the time change and hate it with a passion.
-
I second that. I hate it when we have to turn the clock back. I wish it could stay spring all year round. The weather is perfect and its like late. Nice!!!
-
yeah i wish we didnt mess with the time. it really sucks getting ready for work when it's still dark outside.
-
I love the falling back an hour! I work nights; so, now it will get daylight earlier! :wave:
-
I dont like it either.. less daylight :( I'm a college student currently taking some evening classes, so I am not looking forward to the darker nights walking back to my apartment. I do like the fact that we get an extra hour though!
-
One extra hour of sleep doesn't make up for it being dark so early every night. Depressing.
-
I wish it would get light earlyier and stay light longer( i just love the sun light it makes me happy)they need to just leave the time alone. :sad1:
-
I kinda disagree. I actually love it cause I seem to function better at night (much to my parents dismay). Plus, if I see it getting darker, I tend to work harder cause I know I'll need to go to bed soon. That alone tends to help me accomplish things.
-
more time to sleep?!?!?!?!? Sounds great to me!!!! :heart:
-
I prefer the falling behind to the srpinging ahead.
The extra hour is nice but I hate that is gets dark so early.
I work night work so when we fall behind I go to work in the dark
and come home in the dark.
-
I have to admit I like fall back rather than spring forward. It gets dark earlier but it also give me more time on the weekend and feels like sleeping in for a bit.
-
I would love the extra sleep but i really don't think i'll get it with 2 kids and school. My hands are full right now. :P
-
i wont like it either
-
Don't like when it starts getting dark early :binkybaby:
-
changing times is ok but it sucks when you live in one timezone and 10 minutes down the road you work in another

.............
yes that would be a bummer indeed! I would always be late, or early, or late, or early.......ah nevermind lol :BangHead:
-
I agree with everyone who hates it.
You can all live with me in Arizona. We don't change. I have a small one bedroom apartment but I think we can all fit.
The only trouble with this is, that I am always on Mountain Standrad Time. So half of the year, I am on the same time as my parents who live on the west coast and half of the year, I am on the same time as my brother who lives in Montana.
It gives me a headache.
-
I am so sick of the dark mornings and dark evenings already--and it's not even winter yet! I don't know if DST will help or not!
