I do.




Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder studied the daylight saving time period (from March to November) for 10 years and discovered there was a 17 percent increase in traffic incident-related deaths the Monday after the spring time change. Traffic fatalities all that week were also higher than average. Some of the effects can be attributed to lower visibility (the fact that it's earlier, and therefore darker, than drivers are accustomed to), but most of the accidents, experts say, are because people are struggling to stay awake behind the wheel. https://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-d...me-changes.htm



Stupid clock change also kills people every year.

I hate the jump ahead in spring. All about the "extra" hour of sleep in fall.

I can’t say I hate it. Sure wish DST would go away though, it’s an annoying anachronism.

I personally dislike and think the whole idea is just stupid, but that’s me.

So do I. I find that darkness makes me calmer.
