I’m a night person, too, but I’m just beginning to feel halfway decent, and it’s getting dark now, negating my being able to get out and take a walk, etc! Lol
So do I. I think we're actually a majority, but there are some holdouts for dropping Daylight Saving Time and going back to just Standard Time only.
I think probably most of us would like to stop the insanity of *changing* the time, though. I saw a good piece on Mashable's Facebook page explaining why it's really a bad idea today, but I couldn't find a link for it.
If you watch the video (it's just a few minutes long) be sure to read the questions on the screen. He doesn't repeat them when he addresses & answers them.
Regarding the (scary!) health-related stuff, they mention some studies but there's no way to tell how good the studies were, and whether they found *causation*, or just correlation.
Also, this makes me think about similar effects with jet lag in travel, and (probably even worse) people who rotate shifts at work on a regular basis. Yikes.
YIKES! The way I understand it, that is saying that Daylight Saving Time is the PROBLEM. But I’ve always seen it the other way around—that people are more depressed with less daylight hours! What am I missing? I would HATE it if we switched that way and it got dark in the summer earlier—no more long days at the lake, etc.
I’m for going the OTHER direction—staying on Daylight Saving Time all year!
Yes, I was just talking to hubby about that. He said the kids are getting on his bus in the dark in the mornings. But this will make it where they’re getting off his bus in the dark in the afternoons! I don’t know which is worse! Lol
I remember both those situations well from driving my own school bus. I hated both. So dangerous for kids.
