it doesn\'t bother me, but it\'s annoying that it gets dark around here by 6pm - I hate getting to work when it\'s dark in the morning AND leaving work at night when it\'s dark! :sigh:

Make an effort to see some daylight everyday. The early dark is worst if you already have somewhat of a nocturnal lifestyle. You can go days without seeing the sun, and yes, that will **** with your head.

Well, since the clocks were changed... When I leave the house at 5:30, it\'s not pitch black. Makes me feel a lot better about being up that early. I don\'t have to lead horses out in the dark, stumbling over rocks/getting dragged down the hill in the dark by the naughty ones. I can tell whether or not hay was thrown out for them the night before. This is much better than walking around with a flashlight trying to figure this out. Also, the horses are much quieter walking out when it is light out for some reason.

So I\'m pretty pleased with it.

This sentiment is, however, unique in the the agricultural sector (which I am technically a part of.) Most farmers really hate daylight savings.

aside from tuesdays and thursdays, i basically wake up whenever the hell i feel like it. it\'s great.

daylight savings throws me off every year. i don\'t like adjusting to the day getting darker earlier... makes me sleepy.

Our equivalent, British Summer Time (ie GMT+1), is a waste of time, especially when the rest of Europe doesn\'t bother.

What was worse was the two days my two year old woke up at 10 to 6 in the morning all ready to play! Aaarghh!

daylight savings time was made by and for morning people, and I hate them.

So daylight savings is just another unecessary tradition from the brits that we didn\'t rid ourself of? What\'s next.
