My body is a finely-tuned waking up machine, by which I mean it is common for me to wake up and wonder what time it is and see that it's one or two minutes before my alarm is set to go off, and I did that very thing today except that it was 59 minutes after my alarm would have gone off were it a weekday. So I think I have a fair claim on bitching about this daylight savings time that throws my ass off unnecessarily twice a goddamn year.

xp As someone who suffers from severe depression and lives in New England, this extra hour has for many years been my saving graceโon a couple of occasions literally so.
Anyway I don't know what's going on in your personal life either, so I won't presume to know what external factors account for your own (clear^) problem.

year-around daylight time would suit me somewhat better than never-changing standard time because under standard time it would start to get light in June/July at about 4 a.m. around here, but if it came to that I would be fine with either. I am less than thrilled with twice-yearly clock shifting.

Daylight savings = good not bad because we are currently in that all too brief window when the time difference on both sides of the pond is reduced by 1h.

But it's even more confusing since Southern Hemisphere countries will be falling back ... in a month or so ... so who the fuck knows what time is it right now

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?I have to assume that was an anti-DST anthem. Good on ya, Chicago.

Florida passed a bill like that but it requires US Congress approval
― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Sunday, 8 March 2020 22:53 (four years ago) link
Iiuc a number of states including ca and fl have passed laws that will move them on to year round DST as soon as that gets federal approval. Currently federal law only allows states to be on standard time year round (eg Arizona) or switch at the same time as the nation.

Between the rain and whatnot, this morning is roooooough so far.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:04 (four years ago) link
Help me, freshly brewed coffee, you are my only hope.
What I (honestly) donโt get is how people who complain actually notice losing that hour. Or gaining an hour in the fall. Do those people have strict bedtimes and and wake times on the weekends?For me, I never notice because on any given weekend night I might go to bed any time between 9PM and 2AM. And even during the week my bedtime varies by more than an hour.
― Je55e, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:06 (four years ago) link
Similarly, in the mornings sometimes I get up at 5:30, sometime at 7:45. I understand that would be difficult if you had kids. But still, itโs only an hour, and I canโt seem to grasp how people sense the difference.
― Je55e, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:09 (four years ago) link
I have kids and this is also the aspect of the complaints that most puzzles me. Like even if I consistently went to bed and got up at the same hours (I don't) there are nights where I can't sleep for hours or sleep restlessly
― Webcam Du Bois (Hadrian VIII), Monday, 9 March 2020 12:13 (four years ago) link
it's being wrenched awake by an alarm that you know is going off an hour earlier than it should, in order to load sixteen tons and get another day older and deeper in debt.
with kids i find it's the opposite - instead of being rudely awoken at say 6am the clock now says 7am which feels more tolerable!

my body seems to have actually synched to the clock... as of the beginning of last week. I was waking up like clockwork at 7am every day when I was on my mini-vacation
this morning sucked
― mh, Monday, 9 March 2020 15:04 (four years ago) link
ugh, I guess this isn't the same everywhere but having to get up while it's still dark is the most depressing shit (and I really don't get up that early for someone who has kids that I have to get to school) and I find that the couple of weeks following the time change to generally be the most difficult of the whole year for me
― silverfish, Tuesday, 10 March 2020 03:43 (four years ago) link
Move the shit back to April. We'll be in line with the rest of the world's time changes, the mornings won't be as dark, and the afternoon delight crowd will still get their sweet extra hour of golden rays.

Something I never knew until today: under the Wilson government, the UK adhered to GMT+1 from March 1968 to October 1971. In Dec 1970 the Commons voted decisively to end the experiment and we went back to the GMT/BST split the following autumn. During the first two winters, road traffic accidents increased in the mornings, but greatly decreased in the evenings. However, this coincided with stronger drink-driving legislation (and the introduction of the road-side breathalyser), which may have had more of an impact.
