Doesn't effect my sleep at all, doesn't effect my toddler either.  Supposedly it effects children very much, I don't buy it.  I think 90% of the complaints are just people whining because that's what people do.

Yep. Unless you go to bed super late or need an alarm to wake up on Sunday, you don’t lose any sleep at all. You sleep the same amount of time, it’s just a different time when you wake up. I never understood the whole losing/gaining sleep argument.

Just another excuse for weak whiners to whine about their weaknesses.

No, it's just a stupid archaic practice that has zero bearing on the present population.

I personally am not a fan of it being dark at 430 PM.  I am a fan of it being dark at 630 AM though.

Soooooo, it's a stupid archaic practice... of which you enjoy the results?

No...  I should have been clearer.  I am a fan of it being dark at 630 am instead of dark at 430 pm.  Stop the spring/fall thing and we can have more evening daylight.  That would be just fine w me.

Right, that's exactly what DST does and what I was alluding to.  We agree, I'm all for more evening light.  I was just confused on your wording.  I'm definitely in favor of not "falling back" and just keeping this as permanent.

It's weird how people travel to different time zones ALL the time but no one bitches about that time change.

I do! If you want, I can start a 16 page thread about it.

As for DST, just end it. Do it now, do it in the fall, I don't care. Just pick one and stick with it.

I'm in favor of the same, never "falling back" again. Let's stay sprung!

I'd need a room without windows.  At the very least some quality room darkening blinds.  And a shotgun to shoot all the damn birds waking me up at 4 in the morning!

The fucking birds wake me up starting at 4:30am in the summer anyhow. I also wish I could kill them all!!

BOO! not a huge fan of losing daylight,

Meltdown99

Just about the dumbest thing people do.  Only the government would continue with this kind of stupidity...the people in most polls want the clocks to stay the same.  But hey, why would the government want to listen to the people.

The Juggler

Why am I the only one at work right now? It's like everyone else is an hour late or something?

PJ_Soul

I love the treat of getting back that hour in the Fall! I don't even care that it because it was stolen from me in the spring, lol. And I don't GAF about daylight, really, so that doesn't play into it for me. I like nighttime just as much as I like daytime... Maybe even more.

Umm....we lost an hour of sleep this weekend. You gain in the Spring .

Errr, no, you've got it confused ... We fell back. So when it was bedtime on Saturday night, it said it was, say, midnight. But I set it back to 11:00pm. So if i had to wake up at 7am, then I got 8 hours sleep, instead of 7, which is what I would have had if the clocks hadn't been turned back. Opposite in the spring. Falling back is good.

What?

What doesn’t make sense to me is we are only on standard time about 4 months, and DST about 8. Why is the standard to less used one? We should be on DST year round at that point.

Used to be a pretty even split years ago (would spring forward in April and fall back in October), for whatever reason the dates got switched, don't know why.

@PJ_Soul he's just messing with ya.

Stupid time change.  Can't we just meet half way there and leave it be for good?  To me, changing the clock twice a year not only makes no sense, it's

Dumb... dumb.  

Dumb dumb dumb.

I’ve been like a couple hours early to work every day this week. Not sure what’s going on.
