Are you ready for the time change?

From what I understand the reason for Daylight Savings Time long ago was to help farmers have more light for crops, etc. I don't think it matters as much nowadays. I think the reason that they still do it now is just tradition. It would make sense if we just had standardized time all year long. Oh well, go figure. At least it gives us more time to enjoy the daylight during the nice Summer months.

I did not even realize it was time for Daylight Savings Time again! Shows you how much I paid attention to it. I usually find out when they announce on the news to either set my time back or forward and then I just do it. You are right, it will be nice to have longer evenings again. I live in South Florida so it seems like we have longer nights anyways. But I am happy, more time to spend outdoors! Thanks for the heads up, I will leave myself a reminder so I don't forget to change my clocks on Saturday night! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I really don't care about the time change, I just don't want to see anymore snow.

More then ever am I ready for this time change, for me it is the sign of Spring and awakening! I love the longer days. I hate winter and when they make me change the time making it get dark earlier I hate it even more! I thought I understood the reason, doing something with farmers, not that it made that much sense to me thou. Winter, Fall, Spring or Summer with more daylight you get more done. I also feel more energetic and happier!

i hate then changing the time. i especially hated it when i was having to get up every day & go to work. i wish they would just leave it alone.

I have no problem if it is demanded or I feel convenient. This all depends on your adjustment. I am ok with it.

time change???if you mean the seasonal change,i dread that period ,as i mostly catch viral fever at this.now we are having summer(it has become too hot for comfort).we were having winter till now.

Well I thought I understood the reasons for the time change but lately I have heard new reasons and so now I am unsure of the exact point. I heard it was geared towards the farmers but last I heard was that it was to save energy. I know of some who find trouble, within their own internal clock when the time changes back or forth. Personally I prefer the Spring time change because I love the early mornings and that it stays light longer during the day. The Fall time change is hardest for me to get used to. I am tired afterwards for about a week. Is a hard one to get into. I am looking forward to the time change this week end, welcoming Spring with open arms. The longer evenings with light is welcoming as well.

I hate it. It takes me weeks to get back on track with my inner body clock. No it was not for the farmers. My grandpa had dairy cows and you just do not go change a cows milking time. That would cause a drop in production. I know many a farmer that curses the Daylight savings time. It has to do with bankers making more money and profiting even more off the backs of the working people so they can play more and spend more.

actually this time change is a great idea so that people will be able to make use time more and take advantage of long day during summer i think. anyways, it is just necessary to adjust it only for an hour. more than that will not be okay. but we have not any time change for a long time. it was done only once here before about 2 decades ago when i was a student. i didn't know it then about this time change. was really surprised that they do this time change. it was enforced to save electricity.

hello missybear yes, i am ready for Daylight Savings Time to take affect again, and this coming Saturday night, we Spring forward one hour, and that means warmer weather is right around the corner! and oh my gosh!, you sure do get up early in the mornings like that. why do you get up at two o'clock in the mornings like that for? do you have a job that you have to go to that early in the morning? thanks for sharing. and i am always off on Sunday's as well. whoo hoo! and the time change will not affect me much if any at all. Saturday night before that i go to bed, i will go around the house and make sure that all of the clocks are ahead one hour and then when i wake up on Sunday morning, it will be the correct time. and be prepared, this coming Sunday will fly by. it always does on the day after that the time Springs forward like that. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I do not like the fact that they pushed the spring one up so early and the fall one back so much longer. I think it is horrible to tell you the truth. I have lived in a state where the time changed twice a year and this is the first time I have ever been in a staate that does not do the time change. So when I was in my stat the only good thing about it was my Mom and i were on the same time when our time changed. Hers never does. It is what it is normal time. I am not living here just staying for some time while I get my life straightened out a little, and find a place back in my home state to live.

Hi missybear! I hate it when the times goes forward..lol..It doean't effect alot of people but I can really tell the difference. I can see why it's done because of the seasonal change but I do wish they would pick one and stick with it.

It is said the change of time is for the purpose of saving energy. It is practiced in north america and in europe. But several years ago, when china tried for a year or two, i am not sure, the result was not so good, and so ceased the practice, at least not until the corresponding regulations, train and plane schedules are in place to fit for the change.

I don't really know why they change the time either except for it not getting dark so early. It always messes me up with the time change. And it messes up my little boy too. I am glad that it will be daylight longer though. And I'm so ready for the warmer weather. I'm about tired of all the cold weather and we actually just had snow here on Monday and today it's in the 70's. It's crazy!

Orignially it was to shift the schedule so people who work outdoors would have more hours of daylight to use. Now that almost everything has gone digital I don't see why we haven't upgraded to a new system. If they'd make the clocks add 20 seconds a day up until the equinox then have them start taking 20 seconds a day off you'd still be getting a 1 hr shift over the year. It would just be less noticible. You wouldn't suddenly be losing or gaining a full hr one day.

I believe the time change is to create more hours of daylight. Where before it would get dark at five now it will be six before it starts getting dark. I like getting out early in the morning when I go grocery shopping, so now for a while it will be dark out early in the morning, probably not getting light until about seven.

the time change won't really affect me either cause im also off on sunday so its a relaxing day. i don't mind changing the clocks back an hour cause its one more hour for me to sleep LOL i just hate losing that one hour in spring..but because the days are getting longer and its going to be light out later i don't mind it

i dont know why they still do the time change .. it is not at all appropriate these days .. the lighter evenings will be great **

I don't like the time change but some people absolutely love the fact that it will be lighter longer. I believe there are some states that don't have daylight savings time. My mother always threatens to move to one since she hates the time change...
