OK, so I’m going to try to write this post and not be too crabby while I’m writing it. What would make me say such a thing? Well let me give you a hint – Day Light Savings Time.
Now you can argue that it saves money in oil consumption and also electricity in homes, but for me? Well I can hardly see the benefit. I mean, there are some of us who are very comfortable with being on time schedules and being able to wake up about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, only to wait blissfully in bed with the covers pulled up over your head until it actually does go off. Now we have to adjust to this new time schedule and well honestly.. I just don’t like it.
I’ve read a lot this afternoon on the pros and cons of Day Light Savings Time and there is a lot of controversy on it. Some claim that in the first 3 weeks when your body is trying to adjust, car accidents go up, there is more of a chance to have a heart attack, increase in work accidents, and more headaches. OK, I’m thinking that these statistics really depends if you like or don’t like the time change. Now the others who like the change claim that with it being light out longer in the afternoon we’re more productive and it saves energy.
Well as for me? I guess there’s not much that I can do about it except start changing all the clocks that we have in the house. I think I counted around ten.
