I actually de...LOL, Sharon, but don't feel bad. I actually decided on this topic for the post because I read another blog rant that had it all wrong--the blogger told a long involved story about picking up a child at daycare in the dark and then roundly condemned the change to DST! I, too, suffer a bit from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I do all my reading under a full spectrum lamp. But lighter in the morning is better, I agree, Laurie, if you have to get up early. And, OzMerry, your response to DST seems pretty typical, even if your seasons are "reversed."Donna S.

But it starts at the beginning of November and finishes at the end of March, which means it's dark in the morning for a lot longer. Unless one's lifestyle significantly benefits from DST where that extra daylight is actually used, I see it as unnecessary. The state I live in now tried it but the people didn't like it, so we're one of only 2 states without it.OzMerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433489540953072260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-42142715622784813912017-11-10T20:16:06.438-07:002017-11-10T20:16:06.438-07:00I actually enjoy the "fall back" part of...I actually enjoy the "fall back" part of DST because it means it's light out earlier. When you have three little dogs that act as alarm clocks every morning because it's time to go out, it's a lot easier to stumble out into the new day than it is into pitch dark. <br /><br />I also like "gaining" the extra hour. Of course, it's going to get yanked back again in the spring, but hey, I can deal with that because...SPRING!L. A.

"Falling back" in the Pacific Northwest marks the time that the sun sets at 4:30 PM, but also the time when it no longer gets high enough to see above the tree line. A few weeks into it, when everything begins to seem pointless and difficult, I remember to up my Vitamin D and get the lightbox out of the closet.
