Daylight Savings Time

A reminder to those who turn your clocks back, tonight is the night at midnight. I know there are some states and countries that do not recognize DST (Daylight Savings Time), but we will spring forward one hour tonight. One good thing about the spring change is we get another hour of daylight. The days will be a little longer. Honestly I wish they would just leave the time alone but that is not my decision. So I will roll with it and enjoy the extra hour of daylight for now. What about you? Any opinions on changing the clocks back and forth?

I'm with you on that. I certainly didn't need the reminder, but thanks! There's a spring in my step!

I don't like this at all. I think it harms our health.

Well, you could always not change your clocks. I don't like it either.

They tried it long ago when we were still in college, and it is so confusing. It's hard to adjust.

Thankfully, I did remember of the time change, although I knew my phone and computer were going to just change it automatically. It can be challenging to adjust to the time change, at times.

@CarolDM That is very true. I was early to something years ago, because I had forgotten! I haven't forgotten since.

I'm not sure I see the point in it but it's the way it has always been in my life so I'm used to doing it.

It started out for the farmer's, giving them more daylight to raise their crops.

@CarolDM changing clocks never changed the amount of daylight for crops Anyway, I love having the extra hour of daylight after work.

We used to have DST when I was a child. Good thing our recent leaders have not thought of that lately. I don't like the idea of getting on an hour earlier than usual

I agree with leaving the time alone. I liked it better when the clocks changed in April, although there are some benefits to having extra daylight.

It happened here on March 9th in the US. Actually 2am on the 10th, but I wasn't awake at that time.

I miss the old days when my Mom would call me and remind me about the clocks. My hubby is wrestling with our chiming clocks now- if he does not get the job done right, those naughty clocks will be chiming all night long instead of napping and chiming in the day.

Our DST will return to normal in April. Very confusing when this happens.
