I just heard that we have to change our clocks again this weekend!

I live in Illinois and we always do this. I hate the time change in the fall but I love it in the spring. We get more daylight in the spring so I do not mind it. I guess that I have been doing this my entire life so it is not a big deal to me. The reason of this time change was to save on coal and fuel in the early 20's. Chicago was actually the first to do this.

It seems like we just did it because the U.S just changed when the clocks go back/ahead. It's two weeks later, and two weeks earlier in the fall. We followed their lead, and are doing in with them in Ontario. It doesn't really bother me, but the dogs are messed up for a couple of weeks. They don't know what's going on.

Well, this confirms it for me. I guess I really have to change the clocks tonight before bed, if I want to be in sync with everything. My sister had mentioned it to me, the other day, and that was the first I'd heard it. I used to accept it, both in the spring and fall, back when it was the same time each season. Here in Canada, our's is the same as the US. However, I now 'hate it,' because they can't seem to make up their minds, and settle on one date for each. Here it is early in March, we're in the middle of a blizzard, and we have to do this. It's just too early, I think. I'm pretty sure it used to be sometime in April.

It is ridiculous and I hate the time changes. It gets me all confused. I am from Puerto Rico and when the time changes I have to call my relatives earlier as the time doesn't change in Puerto Rico but it does in California where I live.

We do it here in Canada and I absolutely hate it. Six months of the year my clocks are an hour off! I thought the same thing when I heard it was this weekend, it seems like it was yesterday that we changed them! I find it really throws me off for a week or so...

We did move our clocks ahead an hour in November and we will be moving them back this coming weekend. I myself do love the daylight savings time since it gives more daylight in the evening. I hate when it gets dark so early in the evening.

Yes, My husband has already changed all the clocks here and so it says 11PM up on the wall and 10PM on my watch but he has to be to work for 2AM the new time and so will be up in two hours!! He loses two hours of sleep tonight because he always loses an hour due to the 2AM start which the rest of the week is 3AM.... I don't see the point in the time changing and am with you....It should stay the same :) ~Heavens~

We don't change our clocks as we have the same time all over the nation.And nothing is wrong with our laborers.

The time was passing in past. The time is passing in present. The time will pass in future. Time does not care of the watches and clocks. It is slipping out of the hands of people like sand of a desert. You can call a rose with another name than its own. But change of name will not affect on the qualities of rose. Change of clock will not affect on the time. It is coming and it is going since centuries ago. This is some thing artificial and we could not control the nature with our so called artificial methods.

I really don't see the point. I hate it. I work 2nd shift and I get up early in the morning and so I lose an hours sleep when they get set ahead. It messes me up for days.

Here is a link that shows you when daylights savings time begins and ends for both USA and Europe until 2011. I love it when we have the extra hour, but hate losing that hour of sleep in the spring.. http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/b.html

We always do it...I've lived in New York and Texas....I think maybe we need a better time keeping system.....most people will just shrug me off though lol...I know I'm weird, but it's true. If we can just decide when to and when not to practice it, time is really a figment of our imaginations..

I think daylight savings are really helpful speacilly during the summer. You can enjoy the weather since early and it still daytime around 8pm so its still fresh and daytime. What i do also is that i just reset the clock that is in my room, in the kitchen and my watch. The rest i just leave them as it is. I have a really oldschool grandfather clock in my living room and i hate to touch it cuz the more you mess around with it it depreciates.

Day light saving time was implemented in our country only once but that was over 20 years ago. This is a nice program of the government that I wished to experience again, I will be delighted with the fact that I can go home early and do something important before night time.

Maybe we need to all rise up in arms and scream how much we do not want this to happen, it does not work!!!! I do not like it, I think it is hard on children, it is hard on the elderly. It is hard on me. I keep hoping things will change. It does not really help the people who raise livestock, the chickens and the cattle do not know anything except where the sun is in the sky. Why do we not just let the people who want the early hours get up early and close early or whatever. I want the clocks in one place and left there.

In this part of Arizona we don't have to do anything with our clocks. It screws things up because the rest of the country does, therefore it really screws up the TV schedule for me. Everything gets pushed back an hour. It drive me up a wall when we have to change our clocks.

well yeah it happened when i was still in highschool..but just once..it disrupts your schedule especially the sleeping sched..having to wake up early due to this savings or whatever...i guess the govt. should think of another way ...

Hi there... Here in New Zealand we have daylight saving too, and now they've extended it... Anyway, I dont have a problem with daylight saving, actually I enjoy it, because it gives us more time to walk the beaches, play sport or what ever we choose to do, while theres still plenty of daylight left... Have a good one...

Yes we are due a clock change although I dont think ours is this weekend, and I am not happy with the fact that I am going to lose an hours sleep, although it will be nice to have longer light nights, I wish it would stay like that, I hate it when its dark by 4.00pm. It doesnt mess me up so much but it messes my children up. I have a 2 year old as well so she will be the worst.

Yes most of the world has daylights saving time. There are a few countries who change at a different time than the US but nonetheless they change their clocks, spring forward, fall backward. I believe the latest adjustment in changing the clocks is to cut down on energy costs through savings in Electricity and Oil. I personally have a difficult time for a few weeks after the change my body feeling lethargic and tired out. I do like the longer days or rather the fact that it gets darker later. So I have mixed feelings about the change.
