I just looked at the clock and it says, "1:30PM" and I'm thinking this time tomorrow it will be 2:30PM. I don't mind missing 1 hour. I am so tired of looking at the clock and at 5:00 it is dark or getting dark.

Maybe it's just us getting our minds and bodies ready for Spring! Bring it on Mother Nature!

Same here! Bring it on, and I just wish they'd leave it be then.

It has not been getting dark here til about 6:15 so it will be nice that tomorrow evening when DH and I go for our walk after dinner it will still be light out til 7:15 or so. If it were up to me we would have DST all year long.

Our state doesn't participate in DST and since we've been wearing shorts here for about a month there isn't any difference.

I hate Daylight Savings Time, in the summer, it is just another hour of that hot sun pounding down .............. I just wish they would keep it on regular time, but they didn't ask me!

Arizona doesn't change times

Losing a hour of sleep......Hate it! I wish they would leave it alone on way or the other.

The sun shines the same amount of hours no matter what the clock says - it's just a matter of having a longer evening for the working people to enjoy the daylight.

Can't Wait For The Time Change!

Talk about outdated nonsense! This does nothing to save energy, has been shown by many studies I've seen, but does help certain companies up their sales of clocks that automatically change the time.

Waste of time and does nothing to increase daylight activities for most. Get up earlier or get up later/or do you daylight things at different times of the day, occupations allowing.

I'm sure if I were retired and my children all grown, it wouldn't matter much either way. DST helps a bit, since otherwise it's already dark by the time I get home from work. I can't imagine rising earlier than 5:30 am to try to get some lawn and garden work done, in addition to housework, breakfast and kids off to school before my work day begins. Glad to make this adjustment!
