It that time of year again - Thanks Ben Franklin - It daylight saving time. I personally hate daylight saving time change. I would much rather it be daylight saving time all year. It was originally started because of the farmer needing more daylight in the field during the summer months but then came WWI and it was used to save energy. Why don't we have daylight saving time all year around. I hate the fact that it get dark around 5:00 pm and before Christmas it nearly 4:30 pm. On the east coast around Boston it get dark before 4:00 pm and in Russia the sunrise 10:00 am and St. Petersburg Russia - it 11:00 am sunrise. Here are some "Fun Facts"
I know my mood changes - SAD - Seasonal Affect Disorder is a real ailment. So know I have to wait four long months till the second week in March to get back my daylight and my mood back.
Discussion Questions - What is your take on Daylight Saving Time. Do you think we should still have it - if we get away from it - it stays darker longer in the morning and in the summer it the sunsets a hour earlier. Should we permanently be on Daylight Saving Time? Explain your reason why.
Also SAD - do you notice your "mood" change during the winter months? Explain too. I know I eat more and exercise less.
