Darkness
I've never understood Daylight Savings Time. I always thought it was backwards - it already gets dark early, and once we change our clocks, it's going to get dark an hour earlier. All of a sudden, with my new sleep (or non-sleep) schedule, that apparently includes me waking up at ridiculously early hours (not on purpose), when it's still dark, and still dark for a really long time after I wake up, I understand Daylight Savings Time. (Phew! I think that was quite the run-on sentence.) For the first time ever, I totally get why people would want it to be light earlier in the morning. It's hard waking up in the dark.

For a minute, I was confused. I think you mean you understand why it's not DST all year (to keep it light outside late), but rather we get rid of it in winter so people will actually get up and get going. Got it. Right? :)
Ezzie -
I'm sure you're right. Like I said, I've never understood it :)
I just plain hate the shorter number of daylight hours. I think I got used to waking up in the dark...I actually would prefer that it still be light when I come home, rather than when I leave at 6:30 AM. But the US government isn't asking me... ;)
