I think the thing that bugs me most about Daylight Savings Time is that it makes wintertime darkness hit abruptly instead of sneaking up. One day it's still light at dinnertime and the next day, bang! Dark!
Every year, I realize all over again how poor my night vision is. I'm grateful there are streetlights along most of my routes to and from the various work locations.
The other interesting thing is that darned thermostat. The house used to be only a little chilly at 65°F. Now even 68° feels too cold. It must be out of calibration. Yes, that's got to be it.
I share your observations. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFrom personal experience, I find that I need more heat to be comfortable as I get older (declining circulation).
ReplyDeleteThis would make more sense if we were ON DST. We're not.
ReplyDeleteNo, dear. I take issue with the *sudden* *change* in the Fall that moves sunset an hour earlier. Were you not understanding how it works? Here.
DeleteI'm so not looking forward to this when I depart the equatorial tropics for my return to North American hemisphere. One of the few good things down here is the consistent, year round 6 to 6 day with no clock nonsense.
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm retired, I find myself sleeping in a bit later just so I don't have to wake up in the dark. But I quickly dress warmly so I'm not kicking the heater on above 68 when I do slide out into chilly air.
