Daylight Savings Time is the Stupidest Thing Ever and I Totally Hate It
Daylight Savings Time officially begins at 2 a.m. this Sunday. Don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour so that you can participate in what is literally a total waste of time! I know DST was originally implemented to reduce energy consumption (less electricity used to power incandescent lights and what have you); I know it creates more daylight hours after work that can be used for little league games, walks in the park, or whatever. I GET IT.
That doesn't mean I have to like it.
I am baffled by the existence of DST. Call me crazy, but don't the days and nights get longer ON THEIR OWN? Do we REALLY need it? I mean, really?
Daylight Savings Time totally throws me off my game. FOR WEEKS. I don't know how a single hour can have such a profound impact on my life, but it does. My sleep schedule gets all out of whack, and so does my toddler's--and that makes things even more miserable.
I always get mixed up, too--you know the whole "spring forward" and "fall back" mess? I get confused and end up springing BACK and falling forward. Thank the Good Lord my cell phone auto-updates the time and date, or else I'd be a lost cause.
It's just, y'all--I HATE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. I HATE IT SO MUCH.
