Damn it! Seems like every year the idiots in congress talk about stopping the daylight/standard time insanity, and yet, here we are again, just weeks away from condemning ourselves to longer nights. And don't explain that we're not actually making nights longer. I get it. We all get it. The practical effect of standard time is a longer period of wakeful darkness.
Right now, I get up at around 6 am and get to bed around 10 pm. Today sunrise was at 7:38 am PDT and sunset is at 6:10 pm. That's about 10 hours 32 minutes of "daylight." Even if it takes me 90 minutes in the morning to breakfast, shower, and caffeine up, I get to experience the entire 10:32 of daylight. If we went to standard time tomorrow, sunrise would be around 6:38 am and sunset at 5:10 pm, shortening my useful daylight hours by an hour.
It's stupid and it sucks.
