Just wondering . For others does the fall daylight savings time throw your sleep off for a couple of days?
I have a hard time falling asleep the first couple of days..

I have a much harder time in the spring. Definitely messes with my sleep and I feel off-kilter for a few days.

Almost 5 oclock, and sun is pretty low in the sky. Man I hate this time change

My girl was at a lacrosse tournament yesterday. Last game started at 4-ish and the shadows were getting long. I actually wondered if it was still going to be light enough by the end of game.

Then we drove home from Albany area to Long Island via the Taconic parkway. For those that know it, it's a 4 lane parkway that is very twisty and fast with a lot of elevation changes. It's a really nice scenic drive in the daytime, and fun. In the dark, like last night, it can be a bit of a white knuckler at times. We took it because it got us home a half hour faster with less tolls.

Being retired, I'm trying to stay on DST. The dvr helps. I get up at 4:45 or 5 am and checking out before 10. But, even that's not helping. Outside lights are turning on before 6 pm and we're more than a month away before we start adding daylight.

Yep, fall a sleep earlier and wake up earlier. The first few days are not fun, except my dog is also off so he's not begging for his breakfast right away.

Love driving the Taconic during the day, but scary at times at night, especially when a deer decides to join the ride.

35 days......until we can go back to DST. Gotta wait an extra day because of leap year.

What is wrong with you people?…. Did you run out of stuff to complain about ..so now you are picking on daylight?

Apparently they ran out of funny shit.

So happy we are back to winter time. I get up at 5am and the last 6 weeks I have sat around for 2 1/2 hours before sunrise.
So now I can go to boat an hour earlier. But there is that pesky 39 degrees thing I still have to work out.

That hinderance is usually nullified by altering your latitude.

I feel the same as you about liking standard time.

Change 1/2 hour forward in the spring and then leave it alone.

This just shows how disfunctional our government is. The vast majority of the population wants to maintain a constant time. Most for DST. Me? I don't care. Just make it one way or the other. Michigan doesnt really need DST in the mid summer. Sunset way after 9pm for almost 3 months is crazy. I'm used to sunset no later that 9 (4th of July fireworks in FL started about 9pm).

Love DST in Indiana. Folks here want us to go to Central Time Zone.

I say a strong NO!

I can not imagine sending your kids to school in the dark and them coming home in the dark.

Winter, it would get dark at 4:30 in Indianapolis. How depressing.
