time changes

[luke]

today the clocks went back, so its getting dark at 5 o'clock, by the end of november sunset will be at 4.17

on the galloway show and in some of the papers theres talk about changing the way they change the clocks so its darker later in the morning and we get more light in the evenings. i'm all for that. i don't like it getting dark early, but dark mornings are alright

so who's for a change? lighter in the morning, or lighter in the evening?

what about you faceless, as our scottish representative? i think they said on the galloway show that the scots aren't pleased with the idea

I like it to be lighter in the evenings. I don't mind driving in the dark to get to work, and I sit in an office all morning and afternoon, so I don't care whether the sun is out or not. I would like there to be sun when I get home so I can do stuff outside when I'm done with work. Guess that's not going to happen. We change our clocks next week.

I hate it - I'm fairly nocturnal as it is, so this means I hardly see any daylight at all. It's depressing!

We don't have the change until this weekend. Personally I find it a pain in the ass. And research has even shown that when we do this (with spring forward as well) that heart attacks increase as do stress levels for at least a month after. It's a strain on us. Arizona doesn't do the change at all and they haven't combusted.

I just HATE it getting dark so early....ugh. I do like the perceived extra hour of sleep though!
