Geez. It's 7:00 p.m. and it feels like midnight.

[catbyte]

Although I love the extra hour of sleep, it's still a little jarring for it be so dark so early.

[Clash City Rocker]

1. It is midnight, in London

Maybe you just don’t realize where you are?

[catbyte]

3. Nope. I just checked & cars are driving on the right instead of left so I'm still in Michigan.

[targetpractice]

2. Tell me about it.

I am so sleepy.

[Skittles]

4. love it

I wish we would just stay here!

[catbyte]

6. Me, too. I despise DST. It's just this change that's jarring.

[Skittles]

10. LOL

I have to laugh at the idea that one hour is jarring - trying putting dozens of logical partitions into reset for one hour before initial program loading (so there's no chance of overwriting data) - do this for 13 hours, all night long - oops, I mean 14 hours (when you count the extra hour). THIS will make you tired.

EDITED TO ADD: do that on 3.5 hours sleep because weed eaters kept you up all day. FUN!!!

[dameatball]

5. Yep. I screwed up. Seems a little late for meatloaf, taters and broccoli but here we are.

[handmade34]

7. my chickens

went to bed at 4:30 this afternoon

[catbyte]

16. My cats were harassing me at 5:00. And the fish & dwarf aquatic frogs in the aquarium

were restless, too. I relented and fed them all at 5:15. Tomorrow it'll be 5:30 and so on until we're back at 6.

Clocks? we don't need no stinking clocks!

[Hoyt]

8. I like Fall until it gets dark a 5:30. Then, it sucks.

[Ohiogal]

11. My sentiments exactly, Hoyt.

[2naSalit]

13. Up here north of

the 45th parallel, in the dead of winter, it's dark around 3:30. Currently it's dark around 4:45. Doesn't bother me much now that I'm retired. Before, I hated driving to and from work in the dark and bitter cold but mostly because I had to sleep during the day.

[badhair77]

9. My husband just went to bed. He'll be awake at 3 tomorrow morning.

I forgot to change the clocks last night. First time ever so we were up at 4.We are totally screwed up.

[Sherman A1]

15. Used to do that myself

I got up at 2:30am everyday for work. In the Spring, the time would change on my way into work.

Been retired just over three years now and I sleep in until 4am.

[hlthe2b]

12. I'm an early early morning person, so the early dark only ensures I'm in bed on time...

But, I wish we'd stick to one time system year-round, whether standard or daylight saving.

[Iggo]

18. Yes, one or the other.

I'm fine, either way.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. The real problem with the switch back and forth between

Daylight and Standard time is that the DST version lasts way too long. By the first of November the days are already noticeably shorter and rapidly getting shorter still.

If I were in charge, we go on DST middle or end of April, and go back off the end of September.

The bullshit that we have to wait until the Sunday after Halloween so kids can trick-or-treat safely is just that: bullshit. I didn't get a single trick-or-treater before dark this year, although I have gotten some daylight ones in the past. And the real fun for a little kid is being out like that after dark. Especially in my youth, when we went out entirely on our own.

[Fla Dem]

17. Well the good thing is the Winter Solstice is Dec 21st. The longest hours of darkness.

We will then start seeing, minute by minute, each day, more daylight.

[FoxNewsSucks]

19. Same here.

I hate it getting dark early. I don't really care if it's dark when I get up early, so I'd rather just leave it on DST all year long. Maybe add another hour that direction and make it permanent.

[Disaffected]

21. British Columbia is looking at

doing just that. They are apparently waiting for a west coast state or two to do the same for synchronicity.

Personally, I would love that, or at least staying on standard time. This switching back and forth has definite downsides and is essentially a bad idea.

[JDC]

20. I agree. We ate dinner and realized it was 5:30. Felt like 8

6:40 my time and I fell like I should be getting ready for bed.

[Demovictory9]

22. yeah. it does
