Are you ready?

twoplustwo · 03-08-2022, 07:26 AM

Never!

Aerynne · 03-08-2022, 07:44 AM

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Truly my very favorite day!

Soliloquy · 03-08-2022, 10:24 AM

Blah. I wish they'd just leave it alone!

I can’t wait!! It’s when I get to feel like a human again.

Same here! I have them messing with Old Father Time. Just leave the poor old man alone. He's been around this long and totally deserves our respect!

Yep, the adjustment *always* bothers me — in the spring and in the fall!

Here children are waiting for the bus in the dark anyway. Many are getting on the bus at 6:00 AM depending on how far their ride is to school and where they are on the route.

I am trying to syke my self up to deal with it. I hate that just when I finally have light in the morning while I am making breakfast it get stolen away from me, and it takes another whole month to get it back. And by that time the sun is already making bed time hard because sun doesn't set isn't untill 8.

I was kind of ambivalent about day lights saving time when I lived in the south but now that I am up north I vehemently hate it. And will activity try to convince dh to move if they actually pass the law to make us stay on this horrable time all year where most of the morning are dark.

I do so so much better with sunlight in the morning to help me get up and moving and dark at night - but I know that this is the wrong option so I try not to mention it.

Neither option is wrong. I'm a night owl - I LOVE the shift to having daylight later in the day, but I completely understand that other people are morning people and have trouble sleeping when it is so light outside. I don't think there is a right and wrong, we are each just wired differently.

Also, having grown up without it though, I can say, even as a night person, it was fine. The changes back and forth are what is far more jarring than what time it is actually light or dark. But I think I grew up in what is considered daylight savings? I honestly don't understand exactly how it all works. It was light to like 10 or so during the summer.

Oh it is definitely the wrong thing to say in my area. I have been told that it is classest and racist to not support day light savings time year round. Because 'real' people have to 'actually' work and they deserve day light and that means daylights savings time.

But regardless of what time the clock says, we have the same amount of light at a given time of year! That argument seems foolish to me!

I like the analogy of cutting a foot of the bottom of the blanket & sewing it to the top & being convinced you have a longer blanket!!

I am not a fan of changing time & we're farmers. But our government has brought up the idea of staying on daylight savings time all year & where we live, in the fall, that would mean that through Nov, Dec & Jan, it'd be near 9 AM before the sun rose & kids would be waiting for the bus & arriving at school in the dark!

Aerynne · 03-08-2022, 02:37 PM

The blanket analogy works if you consider no ability to move the blanket on your body. If the blanket isn’t long enough, some people would prefer their feet uncovered so they can cover their shoulders. Others prefer their feet covered even if it means shoulders uncovered. Unfortunately we all have to have the same thing, at least in any given geographic region. Dark evenings give me anxiety. My anxiety goes up when the sun goes down unless it is already getting close to bedtime for the children.

I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer- I just know what my preference is. Daylight affects so much of our moods and abilities to do things.

I'm in BC

we want to change it and the government wants to, but they won't because Washington and Oregon and California won't. I personally think that it is stupid to change the clocks.

The same hour happening twice would make it super confusing in a hospital- I didn’t think of that!

Me too! They actually asked if I was OK that they came behind my bed to change the clock.

He was born at 5:47 in the AM, it would have been been 4:47 which is the exact time DH was born!

RealLifeMama · 03-15-2022, 01:34 PM

Apparently, the US Senate passed a bill that would make Daylight Savings Time permanent.
I personally hate spring forward, but I love fall back. I don't like waking up in the dark. I guess I could deal with Daylight Savings Time all the time, but I do not like it staying light outside until 9pm. I am constantly fighting the battle of trying to get my night owl family to shift their schedule earlier.
But, whatever.

heartofjoy · 03-17-2022, 03:05 PM

Why can't we just be on regular time? I mean, here in Texas, we have daylight until almost 9 in the summer. Is that really necessary?

As much as some people enjoy being outdoors late in the evening, I feel like all the reasons for morning light are more essential to health and wellbeing.
