Daylight Saving Time may have serious health implications for some, making it a difficult, even potentially dangerous change, CBS 2′s Kristine Johnson reported. “It affects my sleep, my whole life schedule. I get crazy,” said Shayla Edwards. “Our body has a natural circadian rhythm which is almost an internal clock that regulates our 24-hour cycle. It regulates our sleep-wake cycle and that can be disturbed fairly easily,” said neuro-psychiatrist Dr. Julia Samton.

SO move the clock up and leave it there.

Too much?

Move it up 1/2 hour and leave it.

[little jeremiah]

I. HATE. IT.

And everyone I’ve ever talked to about it HATES IT.

Leave the freaking clocks alone.

[little jeremiah]

as was planned by a civic planner far wiser than any of us.

Yes.

“A time change will truncate the sleep cycle with the Spring forward being the worst.”

The internal clock always knows what time it is.

I should need even More Caffeine...or SLEEPING PILLS so someone else they can “;experience” more” daylight at their convenience ?

ah... no

[MeshugeMikey]

Amen.

Man has no idea how very MUCH he chooses to Play God..

“Spring Forward,” like the start of Spring Training, the Dayton 500 and the Masters, is another cherished landmark on the road to Summer.

ahahahaha Hallmark..when you care enough to send...whatever.

All Seasons are what they are..and were intended as such

By and large we’re just so stinking spoiled these day.

[little jeremiah]

All the natural laws are there already. We need to adjust ourselves to the laws, not try to create new ones. Invariably have been effects sooner or later.

[MeshugeMikey]

unforeseen consequences..remain unforeseen until damage has been done.

leave diversity....for cable TV...fifteen hundred channels of mostly dreck and counting

[little jeremiah]

I had a TV about 2 years in my adult life. Once for 6 months when Mount St. Helens erupted, and once during the Clinton hearings. Even then I barely watched anything. I’ve always hated TV. Even when I was a kid I barely watched, but that was the old days.... much more interesting to read, play games, or play outside especially.

Can’t have the kiddies waiting for the bus in the dark.. /sarc

"I spent 32 years working in a plant as a reverse 8 hour rotating shift worker"

When ashore doing military comms we had a shift called "two, two, two and 80"

Two days shifts, double-back (8hrs off), two mid shifts, double back, two eve shifts...then 80hrs off and start all over again.

That sir, was hell. It took the full 80hrs to recover.

[MeshugeMikey]

I gave recently within the last ten years returned to the world of Photography.

There’s not enough TIME...in the day to let television steal what little I have.

[eartrumpet]

My ex-bosses old secretary used to show up an hour late for work twice a year at time change. Once I commented to him that she should show up an hour early one of those times. He grinned and said she had been using that excuse for years, he didn’t care.

Nice that it only affects you for a day or two. For many others, it takes much longer, if ever, to get used to the stupidity of an artificial time change. The days get longer without any human effort and anyone who wants to stay outside longer in the evening is welcome to enjoy the extra natural light.

[little jeremiah]

Each day (minute, hour...) is a gift - that’s why it’s called “the present”!

Gift means there’s One who gave us this gift. And we only have a certain amount of it - in this earthly life, to use for good or ill.

As it is, I read too much news...

;-)

[Jeff Chandler]

How does Arizona get along so well with “daylight saving” time?

We have more daylight than we know what to do with. We sure as hell don't want to go around saving any of it.

[gunsequalfreedom]

I’m with you. Time for this stupidity to end.

A week later I will find the last clock that needs to have the time changed.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Would you explain to me the physiology behind an otherwise healthy person being anything more than slightly inconvenienced by a one hour clock change?

Another morning person heard from. I'll be happy to explain it.

About 8 a.m. I roll out of bed and if I am lucky the coffee maker brewed 15 minutes before I got up. I grab my cup of coffee and my tablet, take care of a few other morning details and then head out to my porch to catch up on the news and enjoy my coffee.

I look up from my reading and my second cup of coffee and it is already 10 a.m., all because somebody thought it was fun to turn the clock ahead a hour. What is the point?

I know, for you early morning people it is a chance to proudly enjoy and even earlier morning where you jump out of bed, twirl your arms in circles first forward and then back, and then blurt out Goooooood Mooooornig!

It is 6 a.m. Guess which one of these guys just woke up and loves day light saving time and which one just got in from an evening out?

[Mark17]

Yes America, rise up against the tyranny of time.

Well, I mean, after all, it's for the children, right? /s
