As we gear up for Daylight Saving Time next Sunday:

Let's forget about it beginning and ending on a Sunday morning. There are plenty of people who work through the weekend so it isn't a period for adjustment for those workers. And, the "saving" purpose is to make more use of human work, don't you know?

Currently, DST is 238 days. Let us add 2 days to that to make it divisible by 4, 240÷4= 60 . Now let's divide that up into 3 separate periods of time, 60 days +120 days +60 days = 240.

1. The 1st 60 days, add 1 hour to the clock.
2. Next 120 days, add another hour, now we have 2 hours added on Standard Time for 4 Months!
3. Finally and beginning with the remaining 60 days, fall back 1 hour.
4. And, fall back at the conclusion of DST the additional hour, returning to Standard Time.

Do away with the term "overtime" and any controls on the number of hours of human labor for any day or week. Ten, 12, 16 hour workdays and 6 and 7 workdays each week would make greater use of human effort and better fit the historical and intended meaning of "saving" in Daylight Saving Time. What do you think ?

haha, but no, just no. i already hate changing the clock twice a year as it is. i'd rather go back to no time change at all. people who want to adjust their own personal time clocks can do so as they will.

I feel exactly the same. I see no point in clocks changing at all

I wish the time could always stay on daylight savings time so the day would extend into the night forever. I really dislike the constant time switcheroo!

I, too vote for permanent DST. I experienced an experiment when I was ~10yo, with no time change. Yes, I waited for the schoolbus in the dark, but it was cold and nasty anyway--who Cared that it was also dark. If you had an after school activities WITH DST you got home in the dark.
Spring change is Always harder. You have to readjust your sleep.
I have had to readjust my sleep to Tegan (8mo GSD), now my bedtime buddy, who lets me sleep 4 hrs, then has to go out to potty. Last night I slept from 10PM-2AM, then I always need an hr to decompress. Sometimes I prep my coffee, or put away things.
Sometimes I need some grapefruit vodka. DD got me chamomile tea bags already infused with honey, and that helps, too.
I slept from 3:30AM-8:30AM.
I am beginning to feel rested.
I am mixing coffee with hot chocolate, only bc coffee alone is making me a little bit nauseous--still love the taste of it.
Trying to eat some fruit with it.
DH left me about 3 months worth of Ozempic. My Dr. wouldn't give it me bc I am NOT diabetic. I was given a prescription for Wegovey, but I didn't like the price.
Such a LOT of words for yes, I still have daily morning coffee, even if it is yesterday's coffee reheated in the microwave.
