Has this time change completely mucked up the works for anyone else?

I'm so sleepy all the time now!! This doesn't save energy in the summer! If the sun's up, it means it's HOTTER LONGER! If you let it get darker SOONER...then you let the AC stop working NEARLY as hard! I hate Daylight Savings time!! :grr:

1. *raises hand*

I've been dragging all week, not to mention the probable screw-up of many thought processes. x(

[ZombieNixon]

2. Yeah, I hate DST.

I've been unable to get up before noon all week! :grr:

3. I hate it

And I hate it more now that I have kids.

4. Ah loves it

Particularly in June and July, when it doesn't get dark until 9 p.m. or so. :bounce:

But for practical purposes, it seems we've got it backwards. Wouldn't it make more sense to have DST in the other six months so everything would be more or less uniform? :shrug:

5. Get rid of the crap all together.

Why change the time? Freaks.

7. Southern Hemisphere: I just left DST.... It feels soooooo good. n/t

[Droopy]

8. It hasn't affected me all that much

I prefer it to be lighter later.

9. Yes... all week... I feel like hell

10. "If the sun's up, it means it's HOTTER LONGER!"

The length of the day didn't change. Just the time.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. The time changed, making it light longer in our day...

:shrug:

[evlbstrd]

13. Nope.

The length of daylight is a function of the earth's orbit and angle in relation to the sun. Changing the time on the clock has absolutely no influence on the sun.

12. Hate it... I can't get a sense of what time it is... always seem later

14. Count me in. And the kids.

Yeah, down here in south Texas it means we run the AC longer and harder to cool us off for sleep, versus letting the temp come down a little before we go to bed. When I wake up the house is too cool. I don't have a programmable thermostat. No energy savings here just because the lights are on less.

My sleep is screwed up. I'm waking up earlier instead of later for some reason. My kids' sleep is a mess.
