no such things here in iceland.
just live with the fact it´s just a bit darker, oh lordy it might affect my mood

I think it has more to do with people not wanting to wake up at 4am with the Sun shining bright in their face, rather than mood. But I guess waking up at 4am would most definitely affect your mood as well

I actually saves an incredible amount of money in energy bills.

ok feel free to call me retarded if that is the case, but I can't think of a reason why it saves money on energy bills

Spring Forward day is THE worst day of the year. Fall Back day is my favorite.

On fall back day, my family has a big family celebration. My mom makes a big dinner (usually turkey or potroast), we have cake and ice cream, and take pictures... Yikes.

I just sleep in an extra hour.

If everyone hates it, and there is no real and valid reason for it, why do we still do it? Maybe this is something the UN could tackle and actually solve

I have a hard time buying the energy bills thing...

And on another note, you couldnt fall back, if you didnt spring forwards first.

My solution to the gaining hour/losing hour thing...was always to just go to sleep after the time switch...don't gain or lose shit then

i thought i heard an explanation once having to do with giving farmers more reasonably daylight hours during their planting and harvesting seasons.

that at least was the original intent if the explanation i heard is true.

yeah i was not happy with my alarm clock this morning.

Aye, Arizona is kooky. We're back to PST. I'd prefer to stay 1 hour ahead of Pacific and 2 behind EST for raid reasons but that won't happen anytime soon.

Yes voronwe. You are correct , that is why daylight savings was originally started.. So you can thank all the farm states for screwing it up for everyone.

Woo woo Kansas.
