Daylight Savings Time .. Love it or hate it? I’m tired of it. Most everyone is. Who has it helped? I don’t know that it’s helped anyone and Doc’s article below explains it much better. I’m almost 7 decades old, I’d like for it to be a bad memory and move on. 

Sleep Specialists say that early morning sun is the best for us, I don’t agree but I’m not a morning person anymore. I think evening light is better. 

Children do not benefit, in my opinion, from early morning sun. They are either asleep or getting ready for school. They aren’t outside in the fresh air and sunlight playing and having a good time at 6AM. During school months they are inside most of the day. School sports, and other sports activities occur after school. They need time to run off that energy in the day and evening light.

Adults want the sunlight to drive in to work, where they are mostly inside all day and then drive home in the dark. The daylight that is good for us fades away so the sunshine is gone when they’re off. 

Senator Rick Scott and others on both sides of the aisle are working to get the time change stopped. I agree it needs to stop but they’re picking the early morning sun over evening sun. We all won’t agree on which sunlight time is best but we need to stop the back and forth. Pick one and stick with it.
