Just as a reminder for those that have iPhones....there is a glitch in the software that will not allow the alarm to act correctly during the time change!

I think DST is a good thing since it saves on energy.

If so, why not use it year-round and also save the human time and effort of dealing with twice-yearly time zone shifts and the attendant schedule hiccups?
Wikipedia's article on the subject indicates that the "energy savings" argument is a bit on the dubious side. Yes, I know they're not 100% authoritative, but they're generally at least a good start point. ![]() |

I got DH one of the Philips dawn simulator alarm clocks for Christmas last year. He isn't terribly impressed with it (I think because he's one of those who has to leap out of bed the moment he realizes "it's time"), but I LOVE it. I find I wake up much more gently with the light coming up gradually - and oddly enough almost always right at the half way point. It's lovely to be able to turn over for another 15 minutes of dozing before the birdies start chirping (my preferred "alarm").
