Thank you Woodrow Wilson, Fred Upton, and George W. Bush for screwing up our circadian rhythms.

On the plus side, the clock in my car will display the correct time...until November.

Common Core, DST, fluoridation...

It's a slippery slope.

I would love to see DST be eliminated. It serves no useful function now and should be done away with.

Don't get me wrong, I can deal with the time change, but after Indiana (which is where I live) adopted DST it took a few years for the counties to align themselves properly and it really messed up the farming communities.

It's not needed, the cost savings are negligible, and it only serves to irritate the general public.

I just wish our overlords in the cesspool they call Washington would decide to settle on one or the other. Living in Arizona, our time stays the same but, now all of our radio & TV are moved to California time. Special Report at 3:00PM. Rush at 9:00AM.
Sporting events in some cases start and end before noon.
I think we have to do more adjusting to the “time change” than the rest of y’all.

These time changes mess me up. I’m retired now, but when I worked, I couldn’t function properly for days after a time change.

I was taught in commie public schools that the time change was supposed to somehow benefit the farmers, but I think it’s a bunch of hooey.

I was thinking about this this morning. All winter long, I get up in the dark. And now, with daylight savings time, I can get up in the dark all summer long, as well.

Getting up in the dark throws off the circadian rhythm. Plus, with DST, I now have to get up an hour earlier, meaning that the circadian rhythm is disrupted from that, as well, until my body adjusts.

I much prefer to wake naturally with the sunrise... maybe after I’m retired. Then I won’t care so much about the switch from DST to regular time and back again.

DST is quite possibly the best thing man has ever invented. Those who don’t like it are more than likely the result of incestual relations.

I love DST! I’m up by 4:30-5:30 each morning so the morning change doesn’t amount to anything. I especially like to have extra light at the end of the day, clock wise. I wish it would stay DST year round.

I thought it had to do with kids waiting for the school bus in the dark?

Out here in West Texas, we are on central time and with DST we have long long afternoons.

I love DST and am grateful for the extra daylight at the end of the workday I can use any way I want.

I’m sure the sewer trout in the white hut has no idea about this. Has anyone explained this to him/her?

It would be nice if the Sun were reasonably close to the local meridian at Noon...

Possibly deadly?Its more than possible.If your sleep pattern gets all screwed up and your fatigued while driving you can not only kill yourself.You can also kill others.

I would hate to have to depend on a surgeon who was screwed out of an extra hour of sleep.Imagine what a little extra fatigue will do to you on the operating table.

Will that doctor or surgeon be thinking clearly and effectively?I don’t think I would be.

This Daylight savings time crap has to end.There is no use for it.Other than to throw your systems out of whack.

If setting our clocks ahead one hour is so great, think of the benefits of adjusting them two hours!

Heck, let’s have daylight savings month.
