Gretel had me up at 6am like normal, but it was really 5am, just 6am her time. Tonight she's going to want to go to bed at 7pm because she's like an old lady that way. As soon as it gets dark she starts yawning.

I identify with Gretel...I'm the same exact way!:yawn:

It's ONE LOUSY HOUR, folks and the world hasn't changed the way it moves since you were a kid

The actual length of daylight in a day cannot change and has not.
(I am disregarding the times called "twilight").
"Daylight" today (Dec 5) begins at 6:43 - and ends at 5:29
"Night" begins at 6:51 and ends at 5:32.

Without DST, "Daylight" would begin at 7:43 and night would begin at 7:50.
Depending on when you get up, by Christmas time you will probably be getting up and coming home in the dark.

To be honest, I am no longer sure WHAT we get out of it. But it doesn't change the fact that winter days are a few HOURS shorter in daylight.

Same number of hours for us, one hour less for people that sleep past 8am......

Understand this, that currently, we are on Standard Time, known here as Eastern Standard Time, (EST). Daylight Saving Time, known here as Eastern Daylight Time, (EDT), begins on first Sunday of March, and ends on first Sunday of November.

"The actual length of daylight in a day cannot change and has not." Completely stupid statement. As the Earth revolves around the Sun on its tilted axis, indeed, total daylight hours do increase, and decrease, though out the year it takes to go around the Sun. During the summer solstice, here, we receive about 15 hours of daylight. Whereas during the winter solstice we receive about 7 hours and 40 minutes of daylight. Better than a difference of a 7 hours between summer and winter daylight hours.

Go educate yourself before posting and confirming to all your ignorance.
