I'm just so glad I don't live in Indiana. They're on Daylight with the rest of us now and yet, from what I've read, everything's still fucked up over there.

you people who would take an hour of sleep over an hour of sun are anathema to me

I was on this train last year of bemoaning daylight savings

but now I'm kinda looking forward to it? I dunno what to say. i guess I'm a traitor

circle back to me the day it starts, I may have changed my position having lost an hour of precious sleep

When I think about how in July, sunrise starts at 5:30 am which would usually be 4:30 am, I'm willing to sacrifice one day in the spring to get a decent rest for six hours during the summer.

And when I say "sacrifice one day in the spring," I mean one day in late April, not freakin' March.

Had me going for a moment there. I thought both my phone and my computer would try to update and wasn't sure if they had.
Over here it's the last weekend in March , not this weekend.

I love this day!!! One of my favorites of the year. It should be a holiday.

DST is pretty painless in the hospital

My husband changed some, but not all, of the clocks. When I got up, I changed them too. O_o

Let's talk more my bunny! (doo dah), Sunday, 10 March 2013 17:17 (eleven years ago) link

I hope yer hospital stay was by appointment and fully expected, morbs.

Aimless, Sunday, 10 March 2013 18:01 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe the nurses were friendlier since their shift last night was an hour less?

pplains, Sunday, 10 March 2013 18:03 (eleven years ago) link

the missing hour screws up your medication schedule

Aimless, Sunday, 10 March 2013 18:58 (eleven years ago) link

i'm in AZ where there's no DST but work from home for an office that's in Chicago...so now I have to wake up an hour earlier than before every goddamn day.

Woke up at 6:50 this morning and it looked like 4:50 outside. Tomorrow morning is going to suck.

Beeps is already pulling the "I don't take a bath until after sundown" tactic....

Kids will be impossible to put to bed tonight. The four-year-old is still sleeping right now.

pplains, Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:22 (ten years ago) link

But I get SUNSHINE on my after work runs. Sorry about your kids.

Jeff, Sunday, 9 March 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link

Ha @ 11 Months Pass... Had I only waited five more hours...

Yes!!!! Can't they move it to April or May? Wasn't it in April or May?

*tera, Sunday, 9 March 2014 18:35 (ten years ago) link

I think it used to be early April. DST got extended in 2007 so there'd be four extra weeks of it.

I know, right? Also,

Wyoming Senator Michael Enzi and Michigan Representative Fred Upton advocated the extension from October into November especially to allow children to go trick-or-treating in more daylight.[11]

And yet, it's still dark anyway when trick-or-treaters come by. Great plan.

DST is an important milestone for us with extreme seasonal depression. It's something to look forward to, it gives us hope.

Jeff, Sunday, 9 March 2014 18:48 (ten years ago) link
