Spring Forward

Besides the fact that it is a sign of Spring and warmer weather, I get exhausted for a couple days. It takes a few days for me to get adjusted. But just when I am adjusted to the time change we switch them back again, lol..

Well I hate losing the hour of sleep however, I do love to have a longer day with daylight. Plus we then use less electric which is a savings. I do not like it when we have darkness by 4:30pm or 5:00pm. That is just to early for nightime to fall. I really wish we could keep it like this all year long with the extra daylight and do away with changing the clocks in November.

I remember when daylight saving time was first instigated. There was a big hoopla all over the US. Some states went for it and some didn't. Some counties of the same state would have it and a neighboring county would decide against it. It was supposed to benefit farmers but I didn't know any that thought it helped them. Over the years, it has become more standardized and it's just a fact of life now. I don't like it or dislike it. I sleep at odd hours anyway and can fall asleep in daylight or dark. For the people with gardens, I suppose it gives them a little more growing time.

Quite frankly, I didn't know how the Daylight Savings Time works. I have a setting for it on my Playstation 2 and I just set it to whatever.

Can't wait now to spring to come, specially because the earthquake we had in north Japan. I love winter but cold days means they are shaking on those roofs waiting for being rescued and it's really sad. Now I hope spring, warm days comes soon.

In china we will not change time in spring .but i think if we have longer daylight just because sunlight give our energe ,so we have more time to work and have fun.

I never much cared for it and that they made the change two weeks earlier in the Spring and one week later in the Fall, I really hate it. I don't think it saves any energy. You just get used to getting up with some daylight and then it goes back to having to struggle to get up in the dark again. It is especially hard on school kids since studies have shown that getting up before it is light affects their performance at school.

I love daylight savings time because it means spring and warm weather is coming a lot sooner. I love summer and hate winter. I hate when the sun sets at 5pm it's so depressing. I love being able to do outdoor activities later because the sun sets later. I love it because winter is gray, cold and depressing. And spring and summer is sunny, warm and energizing. Yay for daylight savings time it makes me happy this time of year!

L.O.L. I am glad that you stated this discussion because I would have forgot all about it!!! Thanks and it seems to me when we spring forward the days seem to be much longer but I don't mind either way!! I just wish that people would leave the time thing and the gas prices alone!!!!L.O.L.

The reasoning behind Daylight Savings Time has long been redundant, farmers now have lights on tractors, electricity in barns etc...schools still start at the same time and the school day ends appropriately. Splitting the hour and leaving the time alone, standardizing it over the entire country is a more sensible way to go. Phoenix, AZ and South Bend, Indiana do not subscribe to the change of time twice a year with no ill effects, advancing a half hour for the rest of the country for a year round standard time would simplify things a great deal. So nope I sure don't much care for the twice yearly time change...it's just one more thing I always forget, even when I am reminded.

I really don't know.. I haven't tried spring season. But according to what you said; more time by daytime means more work and less rest, which is really tiring.. HMM. Maybe its best if I have experienced spring season, so I know what to feel.. Maybe I'll try one soon!

Ohhhhh!I love daylight time.Why not?In daylight,we can see more of the sunshine,and you will feel very warm.Terrible in the night,although this is a process that we must go through,but I think I still prefer the day.

I think I prefer the time change in the fall because we get an extra hour of sleep. However, this means that winter is coming, and I dislike the winter. So, in a way I almost like the time change we are having now because it is telling us that spring is on the way, and I love the spring and summer!
