I have so much more energy when it's light in the evening. I go to the gym, do housework, work on a few projects at home, etc. When it's dark, I get home, change into my sweats and hang out by the TV. I don't get too much accomplished, LOL.

Me, too! This is ridiculous. So many people have trouble adjusting to the time changes, especially the way it affects sleep patterns.

I wish it didn't change at all. The only good part was living in Arizona and going to shop in Vegas, so it gave us an extra hour to shop. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

This practice needs to STOP! I hated it even before all the timers on everything and you were just basically changing a clock or two. Now you have to change the time in your car, on your microwave, stove, TV, DVR, etc. My gosh, by the time I'm finished it's time to change back again.

Yes, it changed during the Bush Administration. I was happy about that, especially when it changes in the spring. It helps us Northeasterners with the end-of-winter doldrums to be able to get an additional hour of light. I'm also happy that we have to wait until early November to fall back.


I am happy about this also and wish we could it this time all year.

My tv changes automatically on it's own from the cable co. It did when we had DirectTV too. We never have to mess with that.

My biggest thing is all the watches I have to change. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

8 or 9????? The first couple of weeks, we're ready for bed by 7:30. I'm not kidding. LOL
