Comments on Dad at the Chalkboard: Daylight Saving Time Once Again - With Bibles!

Can I agree with both of you? I agree, if you sleep six hours you sleep six hours and your body is fine. But I think what time you think it is is psychological. So like, even if you got your same 10 hours, if you had to get up for work at 5:30 and your brain thought it was 4:30, you'd still be irritated. Just as if you went to bed an hour early one night nowhere near daylight savings time, you'd still be tired and cranky at 4:30 am. But I don't think your body is actually any worse off in the first scenario, just as it wouldn't be in the second. People just like to make excuses.

First - I wish they (the governments) would just do away with it. However it is an excuse to move to Hawaii.
Second - it is just like the small jet lag you get from flying from Chicago to New Jersey. The problem is time in Jersey not the time on the clock.
Third - wow I have 3 points to make in a comment do I get points? I have concluded that the governments are doing this because during that missed hour the aliens do there abductions. I have posted about my alien abduction finding but since my readership is not too vast you probably didn't hear. Well now you know.
OH put the damn texting/twitting screen down before that semi truck puts you down.

Do you want a solid argument for the "internal clock" deal? Come to my house... where my normally docile kids who sleep 12-13 hours are delirious and staying up WAY too late. One day and night here and you'll have all the proof you need. Going now. I can't see the screen very well with this darn eye twitching the way it is... down with Daylight Savings!

I am with you. Time is time. I hate when people, for weeks after the time change, say "but it's REALLY only 5 am." No, it's REALLY the time that it says on the clock. We've been doing this time change thing for a long time now, people, get used to it!

I took too many naps this weekend to tell. Felt pretty good today. There might be something to the sun rising and setting differently though.

I'm tired. That's all I know. Internal Clock? Oprah? Who knows why?

Joanne...I've read about that before. Don't know if I buy it.

I definitely agree with your wife! First of all you lose an hour the first night and you're body knows it. But for the subsequent days your internal time clock knows that the sun is rising and setting at a different time while your schedule is staying the same. It's confusing (and tiring) until your body gets used to it. Google Circadian Rhythms!

I saw it on Oprah once.

See, you were arguing logic versus Oprah... you will lose that arguement no matter what your level of expertise or what science you have to back you up.

I am squarely in your court regarding the amount of time being the same. But I remember from a scienctifical class where the biological clock takes a few more weeks to adjust... I think your wife has a point... just wished she had a better source than the Big O for confirmation of her opinion..!
