Do you like the time change or do you wish they would never change it. How long does it take you to get used to it?

I can't believe they haven't changed the system, I mean it was acceptable and needed to be done during war time but nowadays changing the clocks twice a year seems pretty redundant, doesn't it? Surely the benefits outweigh the cons for leaving the clocks alone? I think most if not everyone hates the darker evenings and besides aren't there more road traffic accidents this time of year? I get used to it to be honest, I love the extra hour in bed in the winter, could be worst though, the clocks could go forward in winter, yuk!

It doesn't bother me much because I don't have a job and no real schedule. I just don't see the need for it. When we change in the fall, a rise in pedestrian deaths always occurs and those are needless as far as I'm concerned. We don't need the stupid time change and I wish they would do away with it.

I hate it, it takes a couple of weeks before my body gets used to it and I hate the fact it gets dark so early.

It does take a few days to adjust....but it doesn't matter to me if they do it or not......I do like that it's lighter later...

We’ve had daylight saving in Western Australia for the past three years as a trial and it was voted out by the people earlier this year so we no longer have to change our clocks. The annoying thing is that the other side of the country still has daylight saving which means that now there is now a three hour time difference instead of the usual two which can be annoying when trying to do business; most offices on the east coast are closed by 2 p.m.!

I think the time change thing is silly. But that is my own opinion. I know Europe already adjusted their clocks, and it is our turn this Sunday. Yes, we get an extra hour of sleep they say, but I think the whole set your clocks forward, set your clocks back thing is pretty useless.

I am one of the few who like the tme change, especially in the spring when we have more daylight during the summer time. It will not take me long to get used to it since I don't have to get up in the mornings at a certain time or go to bed at a certain time. :)

This one won't affect me at all. The one in the Spring always does, makes me tired because my body thinks it's losing an hour of sleep.

Well I think the fall time change is always a nice bonus because we can get that extra hour whether it is used for sleep or something else, how many of us are always asking for an extra hour in the day? I always say that I am tired of the time changes because it just seems to mess with people more than it seems to help although I also like it in the same because it keeps it daylight longer in the spring and although it gets darker earlier during the winter it also makes it lighter in the winter mornings.

I do not see why we have to keep changing the clocks as it messes everyone up.
