It's not upon us yet (in England).
I like it when it comes though. I like waking up in the dark. Which you gain temporarily.
But then I like Winter - how I hate it when the weathermen say, "It's not good news" meaning Winter weather (in Winter!) or, "It's getting better" meaning warmer.

I like my light at the end of the day. I'm more awake then. But I do suffer a little grief each year with the diminishing of the cold and the dark.

Personally, I'd like it better if we 'fell back' twice a year instead of once. That way we'd get two extra hours of sleep instead of one.

This plan may have other issues, but I can always use more sleep.

I liked the years when I was in high school and Nixon just abolished DST all together.

Um -- I was in high school that year too, and Nixon instituted it early, he didn't abolish it. I can remember starting for school in the South Dakota winter predawn. Daylight time has dramatic effects at that latitude, like June sunsets around 9 p.m.

See what Í mean. Look at that mess. Set it and forget it.
