Does anyone else hate this time change?

[Pin Wizard]

Last night at 8:00 it felt like midnight. At 10:00 it felt like 3 a.m. I want daylight savings time back!

Move to Indiana, I think there are parts where they don't do it...

 

[dizneenut]

The only thing I hate is that it gets dark too early now.

 

[helenabear]

Nope, I actually hate it more when we move to daylight savings time. We are so far west that it is light too late at night in the summer... I prefer not going to work in the pitch black as well like now. I think most of Indiana has the right idea... I think we ought to stop switching

I like this one better than the one in the Spring. It takes me 3-4 months to get used to the time change in the Spring.

Hate it, are you kidding? I can actually get the kids to bed at a decent time. No argument..."mom, its still light out"
Also I love getting into pj's early, reading stories to them, etc. To me this time change is when I get my break.

 

[Cindy B]

I love it too... so when I get up at 430, it get actually light out earlier...


Also no arguments with the kids either with bedtime...

I love swiching in the summer, just not the winter I like the long summer days, so much more to do

Your right Shep Here in Indianapolis we never change. Some Northern parts of INdiana aren't so lucky

I don't mind it, but it take Stephen weeks to adjust to both changes. He was in bed at 9 last night and up at 4. In the Spring, he's tired all the time because he can't get past the hour he lost.

I hate coming home at 6 in the dark, though. But it's nice that it's sunny at 7 when I get up to work out. Makes getting up a little easier.

My parents and sister live in souther Indiana, and don't change. I have a hard time remember what time it is there. One hour later, two hours, I don't know !

I have to say, so far its been a positive thing for me. Instead of running the pitch dark now, it gets light about halfway through my run. Of course, this will only last for a few weeks and then I have a long time to go before I see light during my morning jog again.
Its not so much the time change thats bugging me this week, but the unseasonably COLD weather we are having. What ever happened to Indian Summer?

 

[ShuisFan584]

I like the fact that it's actually light out when I leave for school, but I hate that it's already dark by 5:00 pm!

 

[figmentvi]

YES !!!!

I live in Atlantic Time Zone. Our time does not change and when the East Coast goes on Standard Time they are 1 hour behind us. Which means DIS Chat is at 10:00 pm and so are the Soprano's. For someone who has to get up at 4:30 am, that's too late to stay up.

Well maybe if I take a nap on Saturdays, I can stay awake for chat

 

[catsrule]

yes, i hate it.

 

[WendyZ]

Yes, I hate this time of year!! It gets dark waaaay to early!! Sunday felt like forever..I know it's only an hour change but it seem like the afternoon dragged on. I wish we could stay on the other time. That's the time I love!!!

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

Well, it's always a relief to return to Standard Time. My sleep gets really disrupted in the spring. I love being able to sleep an hour extra, I think my body stays on Standard time all year.

I loved it before DS was able to tell time. LOL! But now I can't pull that one over on him any more.

I remember when I was high school there was a time when energy conservation was big. For a couple years they didn't switch off daylight savings time. That was in NJ.

My dad used to love the extra hour of sleep. I never get it! Instead of DS coming in and waking me at 7:30, it was 6:30. Not good on a Sunday!! So we ended up going to church an hour early. I'd rather sleep an extra hour.
