    I love the warm weather....but really hate losing an hour of daylight.

    you don't lose an hour of daylight...

    you lose an hour of 2 to 3 am.

    I think I know how this works man

    Most would consider this gaining an hour. It will be light out 1 hour longer after the time change (and yes, come up 1 hour later in the morning-so no real net change in daylight) but since so few are up and out that early, most see it as gaining an hour instead of losing. That's why I am confused as well about that comment.

    Yeah... I don't know how losing an hour equates to gaining an hour. Haha

    I personally think that people piss and moan far too much about DST.
    Get the fuck over it.
    I got 7 hours of sleep last night, I will get 7 hours of sleep tonight, what the BFD???
    There are definite advantages and disadvantages, but nothing worth the collective mass of puling about it!

    we will stastically have hundreds of thousands of children emergency workers... people that have an internal rhythm ruled by the tick tock clock instead of their own sense of time...balling for their snacks..naps and emergency straps when it is not that time yet...power and control issues of delaying gratification of basic needs in classrooms...daycares...medication times all snafu!!! and most of these people cannot count without the help of a meter...that is now no longer ruled by their own physical reality only the delayed pendulum...accidents go to the max into the next moon cycle...here we go...try gentle off setting of delays for seven to eleven minutes per day for feeding times naps etc..then we may get back to the usual mayhem by next weekend or so...oy!! I wish we could just settle on the half hour changefor the whole year for evermore and leave it at that!

    It messes with the animals too! The horses are like "WTH?? You're an hour late with our food!" And the cat and dog can't understand why their internal cycle says it's time to eat, but the food isn't there..

    It seems to me that people are far too regimental with their schedules. Children need food and sleep when they are hungry and tired, not when the clock says so. Animals are in the same situation, get up at sunrise and go about your chores and they won't know a difference.

    Actually for animals that is wrong. They are very regimented, even in the wild. They maintain schedules, even without a clock. They get up and sleep on
    A very close schedule. However, the soft rule on domestic horses is that you vary feed schedules to avoid barn sourness. But the time change still messes with them. They don't understand what a clock is, or why we keep changing the feed schedule. The also have no concept of repetitive time tables ( that we do this every six months), so it's not like they are able to mentally prepare for it, like we can. But, with kids, you are dead on.
