Daylight Savings Time!

[wxntrafficfan]

I caught it! 
The time change from EST to EDT occurs at 2:36 right before the end of the LF

I already sprung my clock back.

I hope you mean forward.

Yep, same thing in my world.

In Thunderville USA?

I guess....it's a great planet though. Why won't you come over??? There's free cake.

Blah...I woke up, changed my clock, it's now 10:30 my time, and I'm still tired. 
I hate the part that we lose one hour of sleep.

Apparently Facebook decided to double spring forward... Their times are one hour ahead.

I don't see how springing our clocks forward 1 hour early is supposed to save energy.

You have extra sunlight, thus less lights need to be on, etc

It's really a matter of common sense.

However, some places will need extra heat for the morning with the daylight not arriving as early, and other places may need extra air conditioning for the longer heat and sunshine in the evenings.  I've seen studies saying anywhere from just a small amount of energy is saved to even that we use more energy during daylight saving time!

Daylight savings time, for me, is the time when the days quit being so dark and gloomy. During standard time it seems like darkness lasts longer than the daylight. The days now seem so much brighter.

If that's the case then why don't they just not use Daylight savings and keep time the way it is?

Then we'd have sunrise at 8:30 during the winter time...

...that's a normal occurence in Alaska. In the summers, polar regions like Norway, Russia, Sweden, Iceland, etc.. get sunlight at 12am. In fact, it's never dark there during that time. In the winter, it's the opposite, it's dark most of the time.

I would love to see that someday, sunlight at 12 AM? Would I be able to sleep?

Depends, if you're used to sleeping with the sun in front of you. (lame attempt)

If there is sunlight when you're going to sleep, couldn't you just pull the curtains/blinds?
