This past weekend marked the end of DST – Daylight Saving Time.  Yet again, we turned our clocks back one hour and naively rejoiced over the extra hour of sleep we would receive Saturday night.  What a joke, and not a funny one.  Every one I spoke with today was EXHAUSTED.  Somehow that extra hour wreaked havoc on our lives.  Some people (Can you see me raising my hand high?) weren’t able to fall asleep right away.  I continued to do laundry and chores to prepare for today.  Co-workers also did chores or whiled away the time watching TV or playing video games until they realized they had to get up in 4-5 hours.  NOT FUN!   The commute in was full of people driving like they were 15 and just learning to drive for the first time  Their decision making left a LOT to be desired.  Most of us sleepwalked through the day looking forward to the time we could escape and go home.  The setting sun made the commute home just a little bit worse than this morning as we all adjusted to trying to see in the early darkness.

More darkness=More depression.  Listen up legislators!  Let’s stop the madness of the twice a year clock change.  Let’s keep Daylight Saving Time permanently!!!
