I wish they would just leave Daylight Savings year round.... before switching it to Daylight Savings, it was light by 6am & dark by like 5:30ish... ridiculous.  Why do we need it to be light so early in the morning & everybody ready for bed at 7pm -- we're not farmers.   

I'm going to be loving that extra hour of daylight in the evening tonight :)

I hate Daylight Saving Time! What good does it really do?! It just delays daylight and harmfully affects mental health! We should stick to standard time! DST was never a good idea to begin with!

How does it harmfully effect mental health?  I have never understood how people say it takes them weeks to recover from the time changing.  I don't see how it could take over one day. 


I don't get it either. It's only an hour, and it's only one day a year. I can see if you work weekends or night shifts, but you know it's coming, so plan ahead. Go to sleep earlier maybe?

It's never affected me at all. Do other people get exactly the same amount of sleep every night? Sometimes I get 8 hours, sometimes only 4 or 5. Yeah, sometimes I'm tired in the morning - well almost always, but that's what coffee is for.  :thumbsup:

I have wondered how it works for people who work in factories and work 3rd shift. lol.  Because they are working 9 hours in the fall and only 7 in the spring.

I make sure I change at least one clock before I go to sleep, that way you don't have to stay up or get back up.

lol WHY would you have to stay up or get back up?  Are people really that silly?  If you forget just change them the next day when you realize the rest of the world's time is different than yours.

You do realize that without farmers you would starve to death...right???

People get cranky and counterproductive when they don’t get enough sleep at night. A whole hour of sleep lost is still a huge amount of time for some people!

Then you go to bed an hour early or sleep in if you don't have to be anywhere. You don't have to lose an hour of sleep.

 Harmfully affects mental health  ??  Who, what , where, when and how ??  Does changing the clocks affect mental health ??  I'm guessing because  these people might have to get out of bed at a differnt time.   I think if a person is that messed up then the place or the people around them  need to keep the facts to them selfs  not to cause harm . Simple don't change their clock! and deal with it for the time needed.

But it is ONE night.  Sleep an hour later Sunday morning.  Problem solved.  People act like this screws them up for months.  That is what I don't understand.

Well you have to change your clocks.  You can't go along in your own little world by your own time. It is one day. There is no way the time change could mess you up for weeks.  Change all your clocks and go on with life.

It takes me awhile to adjust to DST.  I have a hard time sleeping, so when we "spring forward" and the clock says 11 pm, my body clock says its only 10 pm.  But what can you do?  I adapt.
