    The fall back never bothered me since I gain another hour and it actually helps me to fall asleep sooner than I normally do. But this spring ahead part sucks. Just when I started to fall asleep, the sun comes up and ruins everything. I really should look into black out curtains.

    I loathe spring ahead. :mad:

    Still feels like 3:30 in the fucking morning when I get up for work, not "4:30" like my stupid clock says.

    Can we just boycott DST? When our bosses ask us why we are an hour late we'll just show them our "Fuck DST" picket signs.

    I like it just one thing though, with spring ahead we would be an hour early to work...

    That would be fall back, wouldn't it? If I go in at 3, when we spring ahead that 3 becomes 4. Right? I know I'm tired, but I think my math still works. Damn, I'm confused.

    Errr, no, that'd be Fall.

    If I woke up at my normal time, it would technically be "5:30", and thus I'd be an hour late.

    Yeah spring ahead means moving the clock up an hour and fall back means moving the clock back an hour. I may be misunderstanding, the first few morning after a spring ahead I have mental problems...

    Just blame the butt probing aliens Dihm doesn't believe in. Next thing you know, he won't believe in the Tooth Fairy.

    Well it makes cents, that directly messes with the quality of her product. You think the tooth fairy is for or against daylight savings? I'm personally biased, I grew up in Indiana and we didn't have any of this "adjust your clocks" nonsense. I have not noticed any significant difference in my day-to-day activity (or even in the amount of sunlight) other than the annoyance of having to manually change several clocks and feeling like I have been robbed of sleep.

    I can't tell if this is a misspelling or a really clever pun based on the topic.

    The only Tooth Fairy I believe in is Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.

    All I know is as an insomniac, I cannot afford to lose an hour of sleep I am already not getting. Who can I sue over this?

    I like DST, there's more daylight to do stuff when I get home after work.

    Just here to say that the DST change coincided with the beginning of my Spring Break.
