Daylight savings time overnight

[begreen]

Woohoo, I like DST. Now I will come home from work in daylight. Remember to set your clocks forward an hour tonight.

Wish the indoor/outdoor cat understood the stuff.

Hate it, just means screwing with the clocks and everyone's biological clocks too. With the big change from winter to summer in daylight it's not like it really matters.... not "saving" anything.

Just getting to the point that it's getting light about when I get into work (7ish). It's light till around 7PM.

Gaining about 5-6 mins a day, so ~45 mins a week.

About the only "good" thing is all my clocks will be reading correctly now I guess. Never bothered to change most of them from this fall.

Why don't we just move it 30 minutes, call it good and leave it alone forever after? What, exactly, does it really accomplish?

I'm all for leaving it at DST full time.

Gah! I didn't know. I get little enough sleep as it is. This change wrecks me until june

For me it's great, my kids never fall back so half the year they wake up between 5:30-6:00 and the other half (starting tomorrow) they wake up between 6:30-7:00, I'll adjust quickly and they'll actually let me sleep until 7!

We get it bad this far East, by the Summer Solstice it will be light out around 4:30 am, and for Winter Solstice it's the dead of night at 4:30pm...

I love it. Its' just the getting up at 2:00 am BS to change the clocks that gets me...

Thanks to my oldest son (who is autisic), we ended up in bed an hour early last night. He went all through the house and changed the clocks for us, being obsessed with numbers and all! He said, "everybody needs to go to bed early so we don't lose sleep"....

He's the smart one in the family.
Got up this a.m. and the laptop, and cell were already done. Now, I just need to borrow your son to change the rest.
Gotta' go feed the dogs...it's an hour past their breakfast.

Hahaha. I haven't had a set bedtime in over 15 years! I go to bed when I'm tired... might be 5PM or 2AM!

I wish they would either put us on central time or not do DST. Too dark in the AM...doesn't get dark until 10. Hard for me to sit still when its still light outside.

My little pickup truck's clock is only right 6 months.

Years ago I had a Karmann Ghia with a clock that didn't work. I left it on 12:00 while we were on Standard Time, and when we went to DST I reset it to 1:00 until it was time to fall back again.
