Sorry for those who LIKE the time change.....
It was tried before, and people hated it. Standard time was done away with in December, 1973. The nation went on daylight saving time full time. In January, the sunrise in DC was 8:27am. By August, there was enough of a public uprising to go back, and a bill was introduced in Congress to...

Daylight Savings Time
Not my favorite time of year. I typically struggle to stay up past 9 p.m. if I'm not moving about and my typical wake up time is 3 a.m. So now I'll drive to work in the dark, drive home in the dark and start waking up at 2 a.m. I've never really been able to adjust unless I get into a project...

It never bothered me. For most of my life, every Monday morning has been like daylight savings time given that I get up for work at 5:15am mon-fri, and am regularly up, if not out seeing a local/regional band, until 2-3am every Friday and Saturday night. I typically force myself to get up w/ just a few hours of sleep on Sundays just to get to bed by 10pm on Sunday nights. #WeekendWarriorLife!

It always reminds me of that Indian Chief who said, "Only the white man could think that cutting six inches off the bottom of a blanket and sewing it to the top would give you a bigger blanket!" Or something to that effect!

(Cut the top off and sew it to the bottom - makes more blanket at the end.

Our family always saves all that daylight, and then later in the year, donates it to sunshine-challenged families in the High Arctic.

I'm up by 4:30, or 5, but it'll be an hour later for the same amount o light. It's disturbing for a little while. I like the darkness, then watching the light come in. In the evening, it's disturbing, we head to bed because it's getting dark, and we like to watch shows in bed, but it's light out for another hour.
I'm not a big fan of the change.

What we need is "Guitar Playing Savings Time". An extra hour a day dedicated to playing guitar...

I hate when I make a mistake. What I hate more is when I do.... people are soooo quick to point it out. Maybe get a hobby or play your guitar more.... or run. You like to run, yeah??

Most of my co-workers are in India. It means all my night meetings will be an hour later
