Does anyone else hate daylight savings time?

I know how you are feeling. Here in Indiana, it's the first time in many years that we used Daylight Savings Time. Until yesterday, parts of Indiana and Arizona were exempt from using DST. Since our govenor signed a new law, we are now on track with everyone else. I had to set all of our watches and clockes ahead 1 hour for the first time.

some do, not everyone acknowledges daylight savings time.  I will post a long thing here you can read through....or if you dont want to read through it you can click on the website cite below and its about halfway down the page.\n\n\n\nAfrica\n\nEgypt\nEgypt normally observes DST between the last Thursday in April and the last Thursday in September when the clocks are three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+3). The change is at midnight (local time); i.e. one second after 23:59:59 on that Thursday becomes 23:00:00 Thursday. The date does not change when the first 00:00 midnight occurs, for all practical purposes, midnight does not occur until then. However, the 2006 rule is an exception: the clock falls back September 22 at 01:00 so as not to disrupt Ramadan, and possibly similar exceptions will apply in 2007 and 2008.\n\n\n\nNamibia\nDST begins on the first Sunday in September, and ends on the first Sunday in April.\n\n\nTunisia\nTunisia adopted Daylight saving time for the first time in 2005 starting 1st May 2005 and following EU time schedules thereafter. This comes as a move by the government to try and promote saving of energy in the wake of the ever-rising cost of fuel in the world market.\n\n\nAsia\n\nChina\nThe People's Republic of China experimented with DST from 1986, but abandoned it in the 1990s. The PRC now uses one time zone for the whole country; the size of the nation was a major factor why DST was not considered practical in China.\n\n\nIndia\nIndia used DST briefly during war times.\n\n\nIran\nBefore 1979, DST was observed in Iran. Thereafter it was abandoned until 1989, when it started on the first day of Farvardin (21-22 March) in the Iranian calendar and ended on the first day of Mehr (23-24 September). In 2006, Iran stopped observing DST.[14]\n\n\nIsrael\nIsrael observes DST starting on the last Friday before April 2 and ending at 2 AM on the Sunday between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Until 2005, the schedule was variable: the only requirement was that there be at least 150 days per year of DST, and was set out each year by the Ministry of the Interior.[15]\n\nIn territories controlled by the Palestinian National Authority, DST ends later, which can lead to some confusion. On September 5, 1999, terrorists were transporting a bomb that they mistakenly thought was set to go off at 5:30 PM Israel Standard Time; it was actually set for 5:30 PM Palestinian Daylight Time, which was an hour ahead. As a result, the bomb went off while the bomb was still being transported, killing the terrorists (and earning them a Darwin Award).[16]\n\n\nJapan\nFrom 1948 to 1951, Japan observed DST between May and September every year under an initiative of the U.S.-led occupation army. The unpopularity of DST, for which people complained about sleep disruption and longer daytime labor (some workers had to work from early morning till dusk), caused Japan to abandon DST around the same time that its independence was restored. Since then, DST has never been officially implemented nationwide in Japan.\n\nStarting in the late 1990s, a movement to re-install DST in Japan gained some popularity, aiming at saving energy and increasing recreational time. The Hokkaido region is particularly in favor of this movement because daylight starts as early as 3:30 am (in standard time) there in summer due to its high latitude and its location near the eastern edge of the time zone. In the early 2000s, a few local governments and commerce departments promoted unmandated hour-earlier work schedule experiments during summer time without officially resetting clocks.\n\n\nJordan\nJordan UTC+2 observes daylight saving time from the end of March to the end of October.\n\n\nKazakhstan\nKazakhstan made a decision to stop observing DST in 2005.\n\n\nKyrgyzstan\nKyrgyzstan voted to stop observing DST in 2005 by remaining on UTC+6 as Standard Time (which used to be Kyrgyzstan Summer Time) to still save energy.\n\n\nPakistan\nPakistan experimented

People who are not punctual.  It's my biggest pet peeve.  I hate it when the say: "meet me at 6pm" and they show up at 6:10.  It's inconsiderate.

I've never found that, but I have found that at Daylight Savings Time, it will change.  It doesn't even sound plausible, but it always works like that. I'm really not sure why, but my mom and best friend have the same problem.  Who knows.

I don't see how they can do away with them. It is a fact that the time is not running exactly to the second every year. If they did away with them they would eventually have to adjust something or atomic time would be different then local time.

Nights...easily!  I absolutely HATE mornings and alarm clocks!

Hmm...I thought I was the only one.  Seriously, Denny's or White Castle or Waffle House is nasty any other part of the day than late night/very early morning.

Nothing in my life needs to be exactly on the second. If clocks differ a minute or two, I don't care.  When I go somewhere I allways go early not to arrive late. The seconds doesn't really matter to me much.

Whatever and why is not the point, the fact that they do is damned annoying. The most logical way is day month year because it's in the order of how it changes....easy!

I find that I do my best thinking and reflecting, and problem solving from the time I first wake up two hours after. I like the early morning (sunrise)....its better if I have gotten enough sleep the night before, but I also have fond memories of staying up all night and watching the sun come up. This was especially true in college during Mardi Gras, we would part all night monday night and bring it through to Tuesday without any sleep. Happy Mardi Gras ya'll!\n\nThe 'time of day' is far different in Fairbanks. In the winter (toward december21) the sun comes up at 9:30-10am and goes down around 4:30-5pm. Im sure there are websites were I could get the exact times. This changes the days alot. Your brain thinks its time for bed very early in the day. In the summer, (around june21) the sun is out ALL THE TIME! Fairbanks is the 'land of the midnight sun' and there is a period of time each summer where the sun barely sets. this can make you crazy cause it gets to be 11pm and the sun is still out like its the middle of the afternoon! your brain is going 'its not time for bed, ive got at least 3hrs left'. (and people wonder why I keep my night job) I actually like this about the summer here (plus the weather is beautiful) and despise the darkness in the winter (depressing) Right now the daylight hours are 'normal'. and thats just fine with me!

We don't have daylight savings time here

Daylight savings doesn't save daylight . . . it tries to better align the office owrker schedule with the rising and setting of the sun. \n\nIn spring the sun rises earlier, so we set our clock forward (add an hour or so) . . . this makes it seem like the sun rises later (if the sun was rising at 6AM now it rises at 7AM) and more importantly makes it seem to set later (if it was setting at 6PM now it sets at 7PM).\n\nSo what? Right? The point of this is that you don't need to turn on your lights at 6PM when the sun goes down. Now you turn them on at 7PM. So that hour of daylight at 6PM when you were sleeping was being "wasted" before, and now, it's being utilized so you don't have to turn your lights on so early in the evening. Daylight savings time saves tens of millions in electrivity in the USA alone each year. In the fall we do the opposite (set the clock back an hour) for the  opposite reason as sunrise gets later and later. This way we don't have to turn on the lights as early in the morning when we get up.\n\nOriginally it was so that farmers that wake up with the sun and office workers that always wake up at the same time could align their schedules as the sunrise changed between winter and summer.

From wikipedia:\n"Daylight saving time (also called DST) is the North American term for a system intended to "save" daylight (the British observe summer time, and likewise the Europeans). The official time is adjusted forward, (usually) one hour from its official standard time, remaining that way for the duration of the spring and summer months. This is intended to provide a better match between the hours of daylight and the active hours of work and school."\n\nIn my own wordings, it's adjusting time in summer/winter so you won't be going to school/work when it's dark, or waking up at 6am and the sun is too high in the sky.\nCountries usually adjust the time to make the change between summer/winter in sunrise/sunset easier on people.
