Post by: Bocsius on March 13, 2011, 05:27:52 PM: Falling back is great because of that "extra" hour of sleep. But the "shorter" days suck. And then come spring you "lose" that hour you "gained", but at least the days are "longer."

In the end, it's all a crock because time is time, you haven't gained or lost anything, and the days being shorter or longer are merely a function of the earth going around the sun on a tilted axis. Dadgummit, just pick a time and stick with it, enough of this Daylight Standard Time versus Daylight Savings Time mess.

Probably because my sleep patterns are already so fucked up to begin with. :X
