Can you easily adapt to changes, like daylight-saving time :) ?

I think Daylight Savings Time is the stupidest idea a group of people have come up with in awhile. No wonder we have some states that don't do it at all--the entire idea is absolutely brain dead! But, like sheep, we all just reset our clocks, and move along like it was all nothing. Except for some people who always forget and show up at work late... or early, depending on whether we gained or lost an hour. For weeks afterward, certain clocks in the house aren't right.

My alarm clock is one of those self-setters that automatically sets itself to the correct time. Except for Daylights Savings Time. Then you can unplug it, plug it back in, and it resets itself... to the wrong time! A few days later, it's right again... but that's a few days of setting the alarm to the wrong time and HOPING the clock doesn't reset while you're asleep. What an absolute pain in the ***!

If I ever heard that we were rid of that stupidity, I'd push to make it a holiday. I'm thinking "Common Sense Triumphs Day." We can get rid of a lot of stupid crap on this day, but I'd be happy if all we started off with was Daylight Savings Time.

...I'm venting, aren't I? Sorry 'bout that. Peace out!

I would love to adopt and adapt DLS scheme. I have answered a similar question a while ago and would like to share the same with you and others too, as follows:

As I live in Bangladesh we are not that fortunate to have the Daylight Saving type of energy saving scheme implemented here.

Btw, I have seen it religiously done in the then Imperial Iran under the King Reza Shah Pahelvi, since he was very close follower of USA. I'm not sure if the Mullahs are following this very good program.

Last year our Neutral Non-party caretaker government was toying up with the idea to have DLS scheme for our people, but unfortunately some leading scientists and politicians did not support it saying that our peasants living in villages would be more confused if we make one-hour delayed or advanced, what a farce!

PS. I saw a cartoon appearing in Iranian newspaper in 1977 showing one person wearing 3 wristwatches. When asked for the reason he explained something like: First one is the original time and the second one is for summertime (1-hour set-back) and the third one is for the winter-time when the clock is advanced by one-hour. This is because he can not manipulate the watches by himself every time government announces changes in the DLS (lol)

Have a nice and productive extra hour!

Not easily, but I adapt to what I must, as best I can. So as I watch "developers" destroy my familiar landscape and community, I endure, but protest. And protest even more actively at the changes destroying our Earth. As for daylight saving - I run on several clocks. My internal clock works by the sun and is never more than ten minutes out. My wrist watch runs on geographic time zone, regardless of daylight saving, because I can't be bothered learning how to change it. I'm a technoprat. My mobile 'phone clock corrects itself to officialdom, so I know what time others are operating on.

For me "I'd prefer that it would just stay one set time all year round".

When we "fall back" in the fall of the year - I find it OK for at least I can have an extra hour to play with.

BUT!

When spring comes along...

I hate it... And it takes me some months to get back into a normal type of life after loosing that hour...

It places allot of strain & stress on people just knowing that it's coming up but now that they've - Once again - Screwed up on the normal dates that this change is supposedly to start - It's now even worse.

Just this past - as to when this time change was suppose to change - We have a "Automatic clock that changes time for the old date" and my wife found out LATE that she was one hour late for work that morning.

Now that I’ve ranted about the time....

I hope that your day is a very wonderful one and that you have a safe day if you do any traveling.

because Indiana never changed time before last April, I'm not really sure what the date is for time change in October...I do know that it is on a Sunday, and that we move back 1 hour. I also know that the UK changes time 1 week before we do here in Indiana The governor of Indiana decided last year that IN would start doing the time change because and I quote "we will have an extra hour of daylight to play golf".....what a jackass!

Almost everything I have rolled back an hour on it's own and I don't even have to think about it. I'm very time oriented and as a result, live by what my clock says. If my cell phone says it's 12:39, it's 12:39. Couldn't care less if the day prior it was 1:39.

Usually but I think it's going to screw me up today because not having enough staffing and my being the boss I've put myself on third shift for awhile until I get the ok to hire more employees. This extra hour of sleep thing made me get too much sleep last night and I'm going to have a hard time going back to sleep in the afternoon now.

Personally, I don't like falling back an hour back east here. The darkness early is depressing. I am a creature of environment and surroundings. If it is gloomy, I tend to react that way; very sensitive to outside forces. The changing of time is not positive nor do I see any benefit to it. Don't like it! Time is what it is, don't mess with mother nature and her time schedule!

Oh sure no problem for me...

I do not have a work schedule or any kind of schedule so I can relax when I want to...

However, my husband is a letter carrier, (mailman), and it is difficult for him to finish delivering mail and packages by nightfall...

Now with the hour falling back nighttime gets here earlier for him and his bosses want him in before dark as it is too dangerous delivering mail in the dark...

Sure, right now I'm just not having a good night sleeping. So I'm just up and awake and wondering what others are doing on answers.
