Standard time could become permanent in US under new bill, with some exceptions

19. I love the extra light at the end of the day...

but I'm one of those who votes for Standard Time as the norm. For millennia, our bodies have adjusted to the rising and setting of the sun. Many of us, some of us in particular, are truly thrown for loops by these time changes. My circadian rhythm has been thrown off for decades now, and I blame it at least partly on trying to adjust to what society says, rather than what the sun and moon tell me. Maybe I'm crazy... yeah, I am (at least a bit!)... but I feel the changes for weeks afterwards, even now that I'm retired and it doesn't really matter anymore. But my whole body, physically and emotionally, feels "off" for weeks. I find myself more unbalanced and tripping over the least little things, and concentration and memory is even harder than it normally is.

Like I said, I love the extra hour at night for daylight... but I think our bodies should be heeded with the caution warnings they give at each time change... like more heart attacks, more car accidents, etc.

Having said all that, I figure they're not going to do a damn thing about it this time, either. If it ain't good for business, it ain't gonna happen, IMO.
