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

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

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....

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]

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

Since Sunday I've felt a marked change for the better. I had an immediate improvement in my outlook and I've been doing things I want/need to do each evening and day instead of barely hanging on. A lot of important and fun shit has gone undone since December.

I would be all for making DST the year-round standard. Standard time is needlessly difficult, especially for those of us on the very eastern edge of a time zone. Sunset at 4:15 is bad and if it's cloudy, it can get fully dark by 3:30. That's really hard for me.
― a girl with colitis (Je55e), Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:13 (nine years ago) link
Only 7 more days until the sun sets at 7:00 PM.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:42 (nine years ago) link
ugh I hate the waking up difficulty. I was popping out of bed no problem at 6:30, and now it is such a fucking chore even if I give myself until 7:30!

DST is killing people!
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 12:57 (nine years ago) link
I guess it there still being sunlight when I get home from work is fun, but that's more than offset by the fact that I have to wake up while it's still dark, which is a horrible way to start a day
― silverfish, Wednesday, 11 March 2015 13:11 (nine years ago) link
If they waited another month, as they used to do, the dark mornings would be as pronounced.

I love going to work in the dark! So cozy. Wish they'd get rid of DST though. Especially the 2005 extended version. It's like a shitty time remix. I suspect folks in the extreme northern latitudes might hate winter DST hours though?
