Has everyone adjusted to the new time yet?
I have not - I'm going to need a couple more days to adjust to the new time. I'll admit that I do like leaving work and having it be daylight. I just don't like giving up that hour, especially on my weekend.
Do you love it already or could you have done without the change yesterday? Please share...

The only thing about day-light savings I like is "fall back", I could do without spring forward! I think everyone enjoys getting an extra hour in their day! But can understand getting angry when an hour is taken away from you too!

i am still tired from daylight savings and i heard on the news on saturday night how many men would die of heart attacks due to the time change and how many car accidents there would be plus, they are not even sure if it is the great savings of energy that they thought it would be.
heres a link.

I know - this year was especially tiring giving back that one hour! I don't like it at all! Thanks for the response!

I love daylight savings time. The winter is short and dark, and without daylight savings time, it would be even shorter. Summers are my favorite time, because the days are longer and it is lighter outside. I find that in the summer, I can stay up later, because who wants to go to bed when it is still daylight out. Sometimes, I think I have SAD, because of the lack of sunshine in the winter. I am so happy that they changed the time change to Nov 1st in the fall as well, extra daylight hours!!

No one wants to go to bed when it is still daylight out! That is one of the joys of summer - staying out in the sunshine! Thanks for the response!
