Today In Wyoming's History: March 10: Today, for 2013, is the dread advent of Daylight Savings Time, in which the weary are deprived of an hour of sleep.
And the day in which those, who on the evening prior, received the promise that "no, I won't be hard to wake up" have been told a fib yet again, as those who must be awakened transfer their anger and wrath about the early arrival of the dawn to the human messenger.
Postscript:
I don't know if its a product of age, but I find it increasingly difficult to adjust to either end of Daylight Savings Time, and as a consequence, I'm not so fond of it.
I used to be able to very easily switch from one time to another, but now I invariably wake up early when we go forward in the Fall. I've been waking up earlier and earlier in recent weeks anyway, but I really don't want to start routinely getting up at 4:00. But now, I'm wide awake at that time.
I really wonder about the value of Daylight Savings Time in this modern age. Is there one? I'd be just as happy if we chose to hence forth forgo it. Outside of North America, do other nations have it?

And of course we turned our clocks back on the night of November 2, theoretically giving us an additional hour of sleep, but in my case, just messing up my sleep patterns.
I wonder if we really need Daylight Savings Time anymore?
