What are YOU doing to celebrate daylight savings time?

[RoyalChick]

Actually, the reason it's done at 2am is because when they started doing it, that was the time of day when there were the fewest trains running.

I prefer your first way of thinking. As in ‘nothing good happens after midnight’.

I will rejoice and still follow my normal biorhythms. For me it's 'much ado about nothing'.

Ignore it.

@tripletfeb punch her please. She's from AZ.

I will mourn the loss of an hour.

I will complain how every year, there are movements to discontinue this idiotic practice, yet none ever manage to succeed.

Because every time there is such a movement, people who live on the west sides of time zones and early risers (aka "freaks") want to stick to standard time, and while those who live on the east side of a time zone and night owls (aka "normal people") want to stay on DST all year. Not that I'm biased one way or the other.

I prefer to go to bed late and wake up late.

I am a night owl on the east coast and prefer standard time. The fact that night will arrive sooner is a plus for me

I guess it comes down to whether you are a night owl for the dark (which I actually realized some might be as I typed my post) or you are a night owl because you suck at time management and never get to bed as early as planned, and really would like to be awake for more of the daylight hours. Not that I'd know anyone like that!

And then there is the long, long-ago memory of it getting dark just about as soon as I got off the school bus in the winter, which has turned me against standard time for life. (Earliest sunset here is about 4:04pm; my husband and I retired to my childhood home a few years ago.)

I'm a very early riser, and have lived on the far west edge of a time zone and the far east side. It doesn't matter. Summertime is still better time!!!

Dark in the morning is normal, I can get lots done before dawn or enjoy the peace of it. Not dark in the evening - dark too early is just depressing. Or it pushes dependence on artificial light which messes up circadian rhythms. Dark too late doesn't matter to me - there are darkening curtains or such - except that neighbors and strangers keep wanting to be noisy late.
