You lose an hour of sleep once, gain it the other time. I don’t understand the fuss. Mostly balances out

- Daimanta 5y agoTo me it does matter as it messes up my biological clock. My body will tell me close to a week that I should or should not be sleeping, waking up, lunch or have dinner. The lost sleep and disorientation is real for me. Besides that, I hate people fidgeting with the clock. Stop DST permanently, please!
- nikolay 5y agoActually, you can't compensate for lack of sleep and oversleeping is not healthy either, so, you get dinged twice.
- graeme 5y agoMost people have some kind of sleep deficit. Catching up on sleep isn’t oversleeping. Iirc there are more heart attacks the day after the change resulting in less sleep, and less the day after the change resulting in more sleep.
- nikolay 5y agoThere were studies showing that there's no such thing as "catching up on sleep".

- beezle 5y agoWhile I would prefer standard time year round, I have no problem with the twice annual switch. It is one timezone and not a big deal; it isn't even close to doing the same for say a business trip/vacation given the long duration of the change. And with fewer and fewer non-automatic clocks to change even that excuse is really tired.
