^ This. It's been very depressing driving into work when all you see is black. Most of the time there weren't even any stars to gaze at on the drive in, it was just raining or fog nonsense. At least I'll have a little bit of light now. I start work at 7AM, so there was literally one hour of working in the dark (I'm at a construction site), so that wasn't too pleasant either. It'll be better for my mood for sure.

It was originally done for farmers right? basically so they could have more time to pick in daylight.

Kinda redundant in most countries now, considering that only a few places actually farm stuff and we have, you know, lights on vehicles and stuff now.

Indeed up in the north it's not very useful. Probably there are other reasons to remain in-line with other countries.

It indeed has nothing to do with farmers:

It became widely adopted, particularly in North America and Europe starting in the 1970s as a result of the 1970s energy crisis.


Enough to read for who's interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Funny however that it was first mentioned in New Zealand in 1895:

quote:
Modern DST was first proposed by the New Zealand entomologist George Hudson, whose shift-work job gave him leisure time to collect insects, and led him to value after-hours daylight. In 1895

Daylight savings time sucks! Only good for the one day after the switch when you get that extra hour to sleep in. Now it's dark at 4:30. Awful.

I've always wondered why daylight saving regions don't just split the difference and permanently set clocks half an hour in between?

I prefer the standard time -- I'm a morning person, so seeing the sun again in the AM is preferred. I wish we didn't do the time warp again and just stay on this. I feel like it's 2015....do we really still need this in modern times?
