I admit it. I can't stand daylight savings time. My body seems to be aware of daylight and darkness. It wants to sleep when it is dark and be awake when it is light. Daylight savings time messes me up. Why do we do it? It must be for the "night owls" and not the "early birds". Think about it, you really don't get any extra hours of daylight, you don't really "save" daylight. I don't like it when it doesn't get dark til 9 p.m. There is something wrong with that. I guess all the little leaguers like it though. They can play ball late into the evening and still have light. I guess the farmers like it cause they can work in the fields late into the evening. I guess there are lots of other folks who like it, but not me!
BTW, did you ever wonder why we use the terms "night owls" and "early birds"? Why is the time we arise in the morning or retire in the evening associated with fowl? Let's think of some new names in other genre's. Like the insecta genre:
"early fly"
"night roach"
Or the mammilian genre:
"early squirrel"
"night coyote"
Nevermind. You can come up with your own. I still dislike daylight savings time!

Ha! I believe that daylight savings time started during WWI as a resource allocator. And from now on, you can call me The Midnight Monkey!
Okay, I'll be the Morning Mastodon.
After Ten Zen? And no-daylight savings time started to accomodate longer working hours on farms at harvest time.
I feel the same way about daylight savings. It's feels so much earlier in the morning now doesn't it?
I can take it or leave it. But I admit I'm one of those guys that liked the longer baseball-playing hours early in spring.
But no matter how you slice it, we still only have 24 hours in a day.
Ain't that the truth?! My ultimate birthday and/or Christmas gift would be no less than 6 extra hours in every day...and maybe a lifetime supply of Rockstar to get me through them...
Check out this site. It's just one of the many out there that explains Daylight savings time but it was show that I was right and Laura Michelle was wrong! I like the sound of that!
