Time Change: "Spring Forward" Anyone think it is unnecessary?

Question

I couldn't figure what category to put it under. A new study says that it doesn't save us money- it actually costs us because we are running our heaters more in the mornings and using our air conditioners in the evenings more (throughout the time period). How long does it take for you to get used to the time change?

Answer 2

I wish they would just put it in one place and then leave it alone. It takes me a couple of days to get use to it.

Answer 3

Paranoid answer: it is because the man wants to keep us down by continually changing the time every 6 months, our circadian rhythms are jacked up, so we are too tired to better ourselves through eating better, exercising, and maybe going back to school to get better degrees and a better education.

Non-paranoid answer: it is so that we have extra daylight time at the end of the day to spend outdoors with our families exercising so we can burn more calories and be healthier, fitter, and happier.

Answer 4

I thought the reason we had daylight savings was so the children didn't have to walk to school in the dark.  I think we should forget about s******g up everyone's sleep/work schedule and deal with the fact that it gets darker earlier and lighter later in the fall/winter and maybe think of adjusting the time class starts to accomdate the school children.

Who came up with daylight savings anyway?

Answer 5
