I hate Daylight Savings Time.

Considering I'm an Indiana bred, I hate Daylight Savings Time. It seems the rest of the world really thinks it's the cat's meow so I'm attributing my hatred for it to my Indiana upbringing, where until this year, people still realized that moving the hands on your clock DOES NOT affect the earth's rotation in the solar system giving us this so called "extra hour of daylight."

The real reason I hate DST is because your body is completely shocked two times a year. For instance, this morning (I, of course, forgot to change my clock yesterday) I woke up an hour early for work. Untrusting of any clock available to me, I turned the radio on to hear the correct time. Yep, 6:30 am not 7:30 am. So I reset my clock and went to bed for another hour...which, I would normally enjoy. However, when I got up the second time I kept doubting that it was indeed 7:30 because the sun told me it was actually 8:30...and I should already be at work. So for the first 2-3 hours of my morning, my brain argued with my body about whether or not I was late to work.

Not to mention that when I get home at 5:30 or 5:45 pm, I now have 15 minutes of daylight left to walk the dogs. Compared to yesterday when I had an hour and 15 minutes to walk the dogs.

I don't understand the point in changing the clocks anyway. Why don't we just stay on DST all year long? After all, doesn't that give us an "extra hour of daylight"?

I mean, if we have the ability to adjust the earth's rotation around the sun for the summer, why not do the same in the winter?

Did I mention that I hate Daylight Savings Time?
