Back n the late 60's or early 70's they started DST to conserve on electricity actually thinking we would use less electricity with less hours of the day etc.
I am not totally sure but this is what I have heard anyhow.

I think it will be great, getting back to the longer 25 hour days during the summer when we get that extra hour of daylight.

Yes I am so ready. Although daylight savings time is about a month early this year, wish we didn't have to deal with it at all. All the clocks have to be changed, microwave and vcr. The hardest for me to change is the clock in the car. I can never figure it out. While our daughter and her family lived in Arizona, they didn't have to deal with the time change.

I am ready for it, just thinking about it right now. But I can't say for sure how ready I am until I get up that Sunday, the 8th and work at 7 in the morning.

I am always ready for the change. They started the earlier start and later stop of DST this year as well. It used to be an earlier start to DST. But the shock will be the brighter nights finally. I hate winter when it gets dark at 4 p.m. and doesn't get light till nearly 8:30 a.m. Ugghh. I am ready.

Already, I'm not ready for the change right now. It seems so soon. I feel tired thinking about it.

My husband and I was talking about it yesterday and we were unsure when it started up so I looked it up on here and saw that. Then this morning on our local news they were talking about it. I love daylight savings time, I like the longer days of light espeically when my grandson is here visiting during his spring break and summer.

I am so not ready. I am still working on my sons sleeping schedule as it is. I hope that when the change goes through he will convert easily. Oh this is going to mess me up.

I am definitely ready! That just means it's that much closer to spring time!! I didn't know it was so soon. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have mylot! That is how I figured out in the fall as well that it was time to change the clocks back.
Maybe I should let you all now certain events in my family as well so I don't forget those either, because I know you would all remind me!

I wish they would just put the clocks ahead and leave them there all year round. There are so many electronic clocks these day it is a pain to change them all including my body clock, it does not know the clocks have changed and still wants to go to bed and wake up at the same times on the old clock.
Whatever reasons for shifting the clocks around back and forth have long since faded into history and we do not need to do this anymore. Society runs more on a 24 hour clock now anyway, there is no everyone works the same hours as everyone else in the daytime and sleeps at night.
