Okay, I'm going to say it.

I LOVE Daylight Savings Time.

Last night, I was on my way to a meeting, and it was 7pm and it was still gloriously LIGHT out. I've got a tinge of SAD, and this has raised my mood a great deal.

In exchange for an hour's missed sleep? I can deal.

It will make summer come that much faster!!!

I'll be happy with spring. Summer in the city can get a little sweaty for me. But even so, those lovely long light evenings are good.

Hear, hear! Instant extra hour of daylight is EXCELLENT! (Last night when I got home the sun was shining! OMG!)

Yay!

Ooh, you have some fic I need to catch up on. Spring break for one of the schools I teach at is just around the corner, then hopefully some reading time.

I love it too! I love being able to go for a walk after 7 and it still be light out.

(And I never "lose" an hour's sleep. It falls on a Sunday and I don't have anywhere to be on Sundays. I sleep the same amount of time as I always do.)

Whereas I'm a chronic insomniac, so I lack as much sleep as I always do. ;-) (Well, insomnia lite -- I sleep 5-6 hours usually.)

I love it too! I wish we could be on Daylight Saving Time always, it's so hard when we first change the clocks back and it's starting to get dark at 4pm already

Note that I hate it, but I would not care if we had it the whole year. What i hate passionately is the twice-a-year messing with my inner clock, which is not really well-functioning anyway.

My sleep patterns are so messed up anyway that I honestly don't notice an hour. I do get a little jet lagged in the fall, but again that's incipient SAD -- suddenly it's dark so early . . .

Every time people complain about it, I ask them to clarify. Usually, they don't hate DST itself, but the time change. I think I'd like to see us on DST all year.
