I feel like crap ever since the time has changed, maybe its because it gets dark earlier now or that its getting colder. I don't even know why we even do a time change to start with, I was more than happy with it getting dark at 7 instead of 6.
Got a tip for us?

6 would be nice. I'm watching the sun set at 4:30 now, with it completely dark outside at 5. Have definitely went to bed earlier the past few nights.
What's driving me crazy about the time change is that I'm waking up early, on my own, about an hour before my alarm is set to go off. And then I can't fall back asleep, so I just lay there .. pissed .. for 60 minutes. 
Never used to have that problem with the time change. Guess I'm officially getting old™.

I'm doing the same too. I used to sleep like a rock until the alarm went off, now I'm waking up early, falling back to sleep, only to be woken up by the alarm.
Yeah it's hit me pretty hard to. It seems easier to get up in the morning, but after lunch everything just goes down hill and 7:00 feels like 12:00 now. In fact, my eyes are drooping now as I typeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thats usually close to my schedule unless a client calls in the morning. After the time change though I am out at around 2 and waking up at 8 for some reason.
+2
It's to save energy. Ties business hours more closely to daylight hours. The worst time is now, right after switching back to Standard Time. It's not as bad when we switch to Daylight Savings, 'cause the Sun is up there longer.
I like it.
Early on the day (Around 7 AM), when I'm walking to school the sun is up, and shining.
But what I don't like is that it gets dark around 4:30....and since I can never do homework whenever it's dark outside (I don't know why, I just need natural light to do homework, unless I absolutely force myself, when I have a lot of homework), I have to basically cram all my homework in that hour and a half of when I get back from school.

I don't like the time change. I wish DST was just permanent - I'd rather it be dark in the morning than after work! There's something I hate about it being dark out before I even leave the office. But the reasoning goes, for kids who walk to school and such, it's important to have some daylight in the morning hours. Oh well!
I also find I am waking up too early now.

When I was in school, starting right with the first grade, I had at least 4 hours of homework each day, and the teacher insisted that somehow even 4 hours didn't equal enough dedicationCrap, that's a lot of homework! hour and a half? Ewwww! lol
As for the time change... I don't really mind it.
Same here! It's depressing I think.
It was started for the farmers so they would have more light during the day to tend to crops, etc.
Same here too. I love the bus ride home when its dark. It winds all around the hills and valleys for an hour and a half. Just kick back with the iPod on...
Best time of my working day!
This probably makes me slightly mad.
The time change does suck. . . But I agree with you James, nothing better then being on a bus, half empty dark, relaxed with some good tunes. It was beautiful when I was in Cardiff, great scenery but here in NYC, I am always in a subway, I do miss the busses, used to be the best time of my day.
Wait, what?! All of this could have been avoided if the farmers just woke themselves up an hour early? So instead, we have to wake a good majority of society up an hour early?!?! Le Sigh
Ha! An urban myth in the purest sense, in response to another urban myth. All the farm folks I've spoken to about DST hate it and blame it on city dwellers. Here's what Wikipedia has to say:
