Time Changes - The Motion Picture

[BigAlinKnoxville]

This pretty much sums up my feelings about it. I wish we would go to permanent Daylight Savings (or "Saving," your choice...) Time and leave the clocks alone.

Go to permanent standard time and I'm onboard.

I personally prefer permanent DST because I like having that extra hour of daylight in the evenings. But I would be okay with either if they would just leave the clocks alone.

Somehow the rest of the world gets by on standard time and adjusts their day to the sun. Maybe we can figure that out one day.

Permanent DST would have children where I live waiting for the school bus in the dark. Some are waiting in the dark now.

We go to work at 7AM on Thursday's. I drove to work yesterday with my headlights on. When I left the house, I wouldn't have been able to see at all without headlights. And, of course, I passed children on the way to school who were waiting for the bus.

For years I heard that DST benefits the farmers. But then I learned that it was the farmers who protested the loudest against it.

My main thing is for the time changes to stop. Whether it's permanent DST or permanent Standard Time, I'm okay with it. I'm one of the lucky ones; no sleep issues, no circadian rhythm interruptions, etc... for me, it's only a minor annoyance. But I feel for the untold numbers of people out there that it totally wrecks for a week each time.

My grandfather never owned a watch or clock. He went by the sun. if the sun was up, it was day. if the moon was out, it was night.

I don't care what time we start going by, just never change the clocks again. It has been medically proven that it is not healthy to keep doing it.

Totally agree. My "slight" preference is for permanent DST, but I'm okay with either.

Heart attacks and strokes increase in the week after we lose an hour of sleep.

Biological Clock Shock? “Springing Forward” May Have Drawbacks For Heart Health

March 9, 2022 – According to the American Heart Association, scientific research supports the view that losing an hour of much needed sleep may not be the only thing to dread about “springing forward” when clocks move up for daylight saving time later this month. The upcoming time change may...

Yep. I can totally believe it, not to mention the general annoyance for millions of people.

Well, in November of 2023 we will stay on permanent DST so you only have to change your clock two more times for the rest of your life: this weekend and next Spring.

I'm up to the challenge. I've got these next two clock changes.

Except for this week we are gaining an hour of sleep...supposedly.

For some people, the week-long insomnia set off by the clock change more than makes up for that. I'm thankful to not be one of those folks.

This will be the first fall without my alarm clock....

split the difference and call it good

I had no idea people felt so strongly about this topic. The time change hardly even registers with me.
