better to have light while we are awake then while we are sleeping. more people awake at 7pm then 6am so they move it an hour. bam now you dont have to waste alot of energy (power) by having alot of lights on in themorning getting the kids to school. and at evening while cihlling watching tv or something stupid. ---

> [@Got into a bit of trouble...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/got-into-a-bit-of-trouble/28473/29): > > i just dont know why they moved it up 3 weeks… really? here is an official reason: [http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-200-2007-001/CEC-200-2007-001.PDF](http://www.energy.ca.gov/2007publications/CEC-200-2007-001/CEC-200-2007-001.PDF) this is the short: The original House bill would have added two full months, one in the spring and another in the fall. According to some U.S. senators, farmers complained that a two-month extension could adversely affect livestock, and airline officials said it would have complicated scheduling of international flights. So, a compromise was worked out to start DST on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. and the governments main reasons are… 1. Daylight Saving Time saves energy. 2. Daylight Saving Time saves lives and prevents traffic injuries. 3. Daylight Saving Time prevents crime.

For me it is just the opposite. I feel more normal waking up and driving to work while it’s dark. When I’m driving to work and it is already light out I feel late, and therefore the whole day seems a little off.
