Title: A thoughtful AP article on daylight savings time.
Post by: elagache on March 06, 2026, 11:32:12 PM

Dear WeatherCatters who suffer from insomnia,

It is that time of year when people all over the world are going to lose an hour of sleep.  The Associated Press has a succinct article on the possible alternatives and how the people of the United States feel about it:

As the article points out, no choice is without its downsides.

For now, the only certainty is that daylight savings time is no treatment for insomnia!   [bed]

Thanks for the link. I was in Arizona for a week, so I didn't have to put up with the clock-changing nonsense until I returned home. I don't care for the 30 -minute option, but just wish we would lock the clock on one method or the other.
