Adjusting to the time change this coming week

But IF we did decide to stick with a single time, as many people seem to prefer, I have a very, very, very, very strong preference for DST. I would hate staying with Standard Time all year long. The sun would rise around 5am from May thru July if we stayed on Standard Time.

I have no use for daylight at 4:30am!!!

What a waste! I much prefer having the extra daylight in the evenings, thus if I had to choose, I would choose DST.

Thanks for the opportunity to rant about that ;-)

Same here. And for places farther east in the time zone they'd have a sunrise well before 5 am! I mean what's the point?

I went from waking up at 8 am for school last week to before 5 am for work this week (ironically for my spring break). That's been a much rougher adjustment.
