Me too, love it. Love having longer daylight into the evening.
Of course love the longer days. But when it fell on a traveling day when you are already exhausted and have spent some time traveling between time zones, it is particularity exhausting.
Oh well, it means another day sooner to spring!
Hmmmm, more about making money for gas companies than about helping farmers.
I hate losing the hour, but would love DST all year round.
Employers and employees whose duty and/or required rest times cross the “spring forward” and “fall back” periods need to account for them. Airlines presumably are used to dealing with multiple time zones (do they do everything internally by UTC?), but there may be issues with local police and fire departments and others who work during the time period that the time changes occur. I remember reading about an incident where a police officer inadvertently got short rest because his rest was during the “spring forward”, and apparently got into a car crash due to drowsiness while on duty just after.
That’s it!! I am permanently moving to HI. They don’t do this spring forward/fall back nonsense. 
Let me know when you’re here and we can go out for a “shaved ice” treat! 
Will do, HIMom!
I wish the rest of the country would give up DST, because then we’d be closer to them in time. We’re three hours earlier than Denver (where my son is) in the winter, and 4 hours in the summer (CA is 2 hrs/3 hrs, east coast is 5 hrs/6 hrs). It’s really hard to get in touch with folks on the east coast, if they go home at 4, I have to call them before 10 am in the summer, by 11 in winter. The extra hour makes a big difference!
Though when I lived on the mainland, I did prefer DST to standard time. Loved those long summer evenings, and always thought we could really use the extra hour of p.m. sunlight in winter as well, when it got dark at 4:30.
No time change here in Asia, but get to chat with east coast college student daughter and hour earlier in the evening and she gets to sleep an hour later in the morning and still chat with us in the morning at the same time for us. Works well for us across the continents.
Once I get used to it, I prefer it this time of the year. I did, however hit the snooze button more than once this morning , and I haven’t even used my alarm in months…of course the sound of the rain didn’t help so much either
I remember working a 12 hour night shift in the hospital once when DST kicked in (7p to 7a). Really HATED IT that year. My 12 hour shift became a 13 hour shift, and I could barely stay awake as it was.
In general, I don’t mind it. The extra sunlight in the evenings is very nice.
That happened to H last year when he was working at night. He wasn’t working the night shift during fall back so it was particularly galling!
I don’t really notice or care one way or the other. I can’t imagine needing one’s body clock to “adjust” for a measly one-hour time change. That’s like saying I need to “adjust” to the time change of 1 hour if I go to the east coast. It’s just not a big deal!
@lilmom I’m the same way-my circadian rhythms have had me waking up with the birds for about 3 weeks now-I start hearing them cheep cheep cheep, I’m awake.
@greenwitch I agree, I wish there was a way to have 7 am always equal when the sun rises. Or 6 am-just a consistent number that correlates with the sun coming up. I recognize it makes no practical sense (there’d be millions of different times), but that’s what my body wants to do-get up with the sun.
If I had to pick I’d say stay on daylight savings time, since we’re getting up in the dark in the wintertime anyway, and having that extra hour in the afternoon of daylight is good for not feeling like you’re a bear hibernating.
PG–the older I get, the more wary i am of assuming that my experience = everyone else’s.
Some of us do have difficulty adjusting. Even some children do.
When my kids were little, they attended an elementary school that gave standardized tests immediately after the change to daylight savings time. But you could see that some of the kids were tired and out of sorts on those days because of the time change. I couldn’t understand why they didn’t postpone the tests for a week or two until the kids had adjusted.
It would be good if schools organized their spring break to start the weekend of springing forward. That way people have a week to adjust to getting up earlier in the dark.
I have night blindness. Daylight savings time gives me an extra hour/hour and a half to do things. Whether I run and errand or talk a walk, I love it.
My dogs even have a hard time adjusting because of feeding time. The mornings are easy because they just wait until I am up ( which doesn’t vary all that much ) but their evening meal is always at 6:45.
