Here we go again messing with my sleep pattern.
DST ends this weekend.
My body clock will have me waking up a hour early all next week.
I love the extra hour in the evening in the summer but this back and forth crap sure gets annoying.

I hate it as well

Lived with time change weekly as a traveling service tech for years. Learn to sleep by the clock.

Springing ahead is much harder for me than falling back. LOL

But I agree - let's just pick a time slot (any one), and stick with it year round.

Move to my neck of the woods, Arizona. No jet lag here.

Nothing like a 1 hour time change to kick those winter blues straight in your face. I used to really like fall, not so much anymore. When you work till 5 and later, the early night is no fun. June is now my favorite month. Love that 8:30 twilight.

Living in Sask. all my life I have never had to deal with that clock change twice a year foolishness. I'd imagine it takes a bit of adjusting to.

Traditional Farmer · Oct 30, 2018

I like it, wish they changed it 4 times a year gives all the chronic complainers something to rag on about and leave important things alone.

Cat is my alarm clock.

What's annoying is remembering how to change the clock in my vehicles.

Steve@Advance · Oct 30, 2018

Changing clocks is my biggest complaint too.

The chiming clock at home, the big clock at church, and the time clock at work...

The chiming clock is no problem turning it forward, setting it back involves taking the battery out, waiting an hour, restarting and setting it without getting the chime out of wack with the time.

The big clock at church, drag the 12 ft ladder through the doors without banging the wood work, taking the 30 lb clock off the wall, hanging it back without dropping it, getting it on the nail that can't be seen, and knowing it's not going to fall on somebody!

The timeclock at work, a hybrid digital readout/mechanical time stamp dinosaur. Getting the 2 set and coordinated to read the same is a guessing game of trial and error. I either have to stay late, make a special trip, or come in early so it gets set without causing confusion.

I was thinking about this yesterday and was going to make a post about all the complainers here.
I guess I'm too late and they've already started.
I never understood why it's such a big deal to some.
It's only an hour. Go take a nap if you're tired.

Russ from MN · Oct 30, 2018

I agree with you, Traditional Farmer!

I think it changes the wrong way, it's dark by 530 in the winter. When summer comes around its light till after 10, hard to get to bed.

Dean · Oct 30, 2018

It's an annoyance for me and I would prefer DST year round.

It's not the sleep. I could care less.

It's the annoyance of changing ubiquitous clocks, which takes the best part of an hour twice each year.

Early man didn't use clocks or watches and look what happened to them.

Standard time is safer for the school kids in the morning. Daylight savings time is not for the working person though. I would much rather stay on Standard time year around and see it light at 5am, not 10 pm.

Rich'sToys · Oct 30, 2018

Pick one way or the other and leave it there!

There is a short list of things in this world which make no logical sense. Daylight savings time is near the top of that list.

Having said that, I will enjoy the extra hour of sleep on Sunday morning.

rrlund · Oct 30, 2018

I'm ready for it. Tired of sitting in the house until 8am. I don't know why we bother with standard time anymore though,only three full months of it and two partial.

Spook · Oct 30, 2018

Yeah, it seems to take forever for the sun to come up. My chickens don?t come out until about 9!

Old Indian used to say: Only a white man would cut the top off a blanket and sew it on the bottom and believe he had a longer blanket

BarnyardEngineering · Oct 30, 2018

From about Thanksgiving to MLK day, the sun doesn't come up until after 8AM and goes down by 5PM on standard time, so you're driving to/from work in the dark no matter what.

If it were DST year around, at least you could drive home in the light.

Frankly, I think we're off by about 3 weeks because it sure seems like the days are already getting longer by the 1st of December.

The clocks in my vehicles are dead on for half the year,and exactly one hour off the other half.If it ever bothers me enough I will get the books out and change them.I never set stations on the radio either.I have a 96 Dodge truck that has never had the radio set from the day it was new.I do reset the clock whenever I have unhooked the batteries.

Kansasredneck · Oct 30, 2018

The first few days after the switch have more vehicle accidents because of the interference with natural sleep patterns. There are also issues with lost productivity for many corporations. Some companies choose to not observe the time change and just adjust hours. 7-3 becomes 8-4 etc.

I used to live and work in an area that did the DST thing, lost count of how many customers that stopped by the shop wondering if I knew how to adjust the time on there vehicle's clock.

Standard answer was you have 3 options;

I can charge you an hour shop rate to read your owners manual for you.

You can read it yourself.

You can go out to your vehicle at 11:55 disconnect your battery and reconnect it at exactly 12:00 which is the default most clocks restart at.
