Jeannine: The natural thing to do is get up with the light and get work done when you are fresh and rest in the evening. It's the natural order. I feel like everything is right in my world now that it is finished.
Jill: Do not know what we are saving; lights have to go on early when it starts and people use the A/C in the end 'cause it is still too hot. Should never mess with mother nature.
Linda: Get rid of it altogether, only an idiot would believe that taking an hour off the start of the day and putting it at the end of the day would actually make it longer.
Donna: For those who want more light, get up earlier!!
Helen: Great Idea - but better still get rid of it all together and leave mother nature alone.
Margaret: I too feel we should not interfere with mother nature, it sure puts the body clock out of whack. Could someone tell me where the savings are? My bank balance hasn't altered!
Lea: Yes please! I feel like it's been winter for months now.
Tim: Please reduce. If people want more time with children, turn off the iPads and wake up earlier.
Judith: Yes ... it should not of been played with to start with. Since the clock has gone back, meals are prepared and served on time and bed time is actually sensible, which means my/our emotional and social wellbeing is actually better structured and regulated. A better delivery for daily productivity outcomes.
John: Why wouldn't you like daylight saving? It is wonderful to sit and watch the sun go down after a busy day at work maybe even better with a good wine and a friend.
