I usually have no problem - we'll see if it's the same this time!

I, too, referred to it as "Daylight Savings Time", so I was glad when I found the info to set me straight.

I usually take 1 or 2 days to get use to this, then it's like nothing ever changed, except for the sun. I don't like when it gets dark early, because it's hard to do things outdoors when it gets dark, but otherwise, it doesn't affect me too hard.

I live in Colorado, turn the clocks back and forth, my son and his family live in Arizona, they just leave the clocks alone............

It doesnt really surprise me but either way, Im still an 'early-to-bed' person no matter what time of year it is. And when Im not working.

I do not like this change of hour it confuses my system

I like it when is nice and bright at night

Did you know daylight saving time was considered a joke by some. After all, no matter what time we call it, the sun will rise and set regardless.

yeah,,, it's nice to just leave the sun where it should be and forget about moving the clocks ahead or behind in the AZ. The reason we don't do it here is because we have enough summer HEAT that it's nice to have the sun go down early and enjoy the darker evening.

Dark in the desert is cool

The only time it bothers me is during the last hour at work and I really feel like it is time to go home.

This only lasts the first few days and then everything feels normal again.

OK, Daylight Saving Time is over for another season. Does that mean we are now in Daylight Withdrawing Time?

Sure seems like it... my body is off the time. Will be for the next day or two I suppose...
