Time To "Spring Forward" One Hour This Weekend

[panthera]

I think this is such a waste of time. I thought it was originally to help save energy. I always thought it was just a plot by the battery companies to make you buy new batteries. I just don't see any benefits. Now the kids have to go to school in the dark. It throws off the feeding schedule of the children and animals. Can anyone name any benefits?

I can't!!! It was already starting to stay light later into the evening, and was light shortly after 6am, which meant less lights (including my car's headlights!) being used in the morning. I don't like it because by summer when it's really hot, it stays light too long and takes too long to cool down in the evening. So actually we're using more electricity for air conditioners. And then there's the hour of sleep that we won't get back until November!!!

Anyone else experiencing the joys of a jet-lagged toddler today?

Everything is haywire.
