This coming Sunday, Daylight Savings Time ends. Please, let’s put a stake in its heart. Let’s kill this thing before it disrupts our lives again in the Spring.
It has been proven that the change to DST disrupts our natural bodily rhythms.It disrupts our society twice a year; nobody knows where to be when for a few days after the change. In our home alone there are at least fifteen clocks or devices that need to be changed manually. Really, I have better things to do.
And you know what? DST does no one any good at all! It certainly doesn’t”save time” because there are still twenty-four hours in a day. It doesn’t save daylight, the tilt of the earth stays the same. It doesn’t save energy. In fact just today I read a report that the opposite is true. We may not turn on the lights as early in the evening during DST, but we crank up the heat on those cold dark mornings.
In short, DST is an antiquated, useless, harmful, and stupid regulation. Rise up people! Let’s make ending DST the issue that unites all Americans! Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Socialists, make your voices heard in Washington.
I beg you.

It sure makes those late fall and winter nights awfully long, getting dark even before supper. And it’s still dark after breakfast. Besides, my wife has to leave for work in the dark and gets home in the dark, too.

It certainly does take time to get used to…not an easy thing! 🙂

The sleep disruption from changing the clocks gets worse as I get older. I dislike falling back almost as much as I dislike springing forward.
This year I am trying a new wrinkle. When I changed the clocks in the evening of 11-06, I also changed my alarm time to an hour earlier (by the clock) and started making a serious effort to get into bed an hour earlier (by the clock) every night. So far, so good. Have not shown up an hour early for anything.

It is interesting to read your view on DST as in South Africa we don’t have it – winter mornings are simply still dark early and summer afternoons are light later 🙂
