Just a friendly reminder to all CCers who live in the states that follow this stupidity. Don’t forget about losing an hour of sleep tonight!
(I’m so moving to HI!)
Daylight savings time is fantastic! Disagree with you totally. Love having more to the evening. The only complaint could be how early and late in the year things are changed.
Respectfully disagree. 
I dont mind to see more daylight, but I would prefer to leave my clock alone - set at the daylight time or whatever time - and not move it back and forth.
U Michigan researchers agree with me:

H and I, and D1 just returned from the west coast today to our respective homes (Chicago and Boston), so we will lose three hours in less than 24 hours, and D1 will lose four hours in less than 24 hours. Tomorrow’s going to suck.
@teriwtt – did you end up going to Laguna Beach? How did you enjoy it? Would love to hear an update, perhaps on your previous thread!!!
None of Asia uses it. Whenever clocks change in the US & Europe (the US & Europe can’t even do it on the same date), it just wreaks havoc w my teleconferencing. Just get rid of it.
My dogs wake me up when it’s light out. For the past couple of weeks, that’s been at 6:00 AM. Today, it was at 7:00 AM. I’ll take that.
My internal clock does not adjust so I am just up really early (4am for last 2 months) for part of the year. I would love to get rid of it.
We don’t lose or gain more hours, just clock shifting for no good reason. It costs a lot of time and money to change time back and forth. I know it is also not good for my body. I do wish we would stop doing it.
the only thing it confuses in my household is my dog’s internal clock. I love it in the spring, hate it in the fall.
^^ I agree. Drove me nuts when people posted on FB yesterday that today we “gain an hour of daylight”. Um. No we don’t. Same number of hours of sunshine. Just moved around.
I think we should stay on summer time forever and quit changing. Why, exactly, do we want it to be dark at 5 pm. in the winter?
I don’t know anyone who likes it when it gets dark so early. To me it is just a reminded of the long winter ahead. In spring, it is just so nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors until the early evening
So which time is “correct” for the US - the winter time or the summer time? I know it’s “just” an hour but it throws me off for weeks. If I could vote I’d say I’d go for summer time permanently. Is there a legit reason we still change clocks now?
GMT - do you do business in India? They are :30 minutes off - it’s crazy! I’m at least used to - do the phone call at 8 pm your time so it’s 10 am for the client in Singapore. But being off by a half hour makes it complicated!
I usually hate the spring ahead time change, but my aging (14 years old today!) dog has been waking me up early for the past 2 months. Hopefully we will both be getting up at our regular time now.
I hate this change. I don’t like driving to work in the dark of night an it was just now starting to light out when I left. It will be hard tonal asleep an hour early tonight and it will be very hard to wake up at what my body thinks is 430 am tomorrow. In the summer, when it is still twilight at 10pm, it is difficult to fall asleep.
I have conference calls with people in Arizona, the UK, and Australia every Tuesday. The ones who do change the clocks change them in a few weeks. My coworker in Arizona is now 3 hours off instead of 2. It makes collaboration difficult.
I am thrilled we sprang forward.
Winter time is the correct astronomical time. From now until we switch back, high noon is actually at 1 PM!
My D3 is in Arizona, which is particularly complicated. The state doesn’t follow DST (yay!), but the Navaho nation does and they own a big chunk of the state.
I can appreciate having more daylight hours after 5 PM for people who like that, but it would be better for all of us if we just stuck to proper astronomical time and shifted our working hours to suit that. Less painful!
I love DST. It means it is spring finally.
Except for that whole planetary motion/equinox thing.
