1. It is time for DST to end! nm

2. I Heard That Benjamin Franklin Invented Daylight Savings Time as a Joke...

He didn't think that anyone would take him seriously, but they did.

3. That's why I change my clocks, but not my schedule.

I sleep either 9 PM to 5 AM to 10 PM to 6 AM depending on if it's Daylight Savings or Standard, but I never lose and hour or gain an hour of sleep. Since I'm retired I can get away with that. Come the switch this weekend I set the clocks one hour ahead and start going to bed one hour later by the clock, but at the same time by my body's clock.

4. I have always liked having the extra hour of sunlight at the end of my workday.

My grandmother, who grew up on a farm, hated it and insisted she lost an hour of sleep every night during DST.

8. Me too. I hate to come home in the dark. I don't mind getting up in the dark.

5. Disingenuous headline

Changing twice a year increases accidents and has health consequences for a lot of people. What we set the clock at is irrelevant as long as we stick to it.

There's a bill in the NM lege about year round DST. I hope it passes. Standard time is fucking depressing, people who work business hours never really see the sun and the farther north you go, the worse it gets.

6. OK, I'd agree to ditching it, in exchange for a reasonable work week.

Let's stop the slide to neo-feudalism.

7. My problem with DST whiners is that if they take a flight to Japan, they will be 12 HOURS out

of whack, not just one. Anyone who has flown to another continent has suffered a greater time difference than anybody who has to move the clock one hour ahead or one hour behind. It is not that big a deal! Talk about First World Problems!

9. Why do we do this again?
