I mentioned this to my girl in the spring. They don't have time zones either.

Nope. China is one giant time zone. So those of us in the EDT/EST, it's now 13 hours, not 12...

Wake up when the sun comes up and sleep when it's dark. Hours are just a numbers we stick on fractions of revolutions of the earth.

So how do the norwegians and others get on when it is light almost 24 hours a day for part of the year!!!!

How do they do it now. Just change the "labels" on the times. They wouldn't really do anything different. Just the businesses would change the signs on the doors and fliers as to what hours they are open.

I think DST is great. Love it in the spring when we adjust the time and suddenly we have light for on more hour in the evening.

Post by: shaun on November 02, 2009, 08:23:45 am: I love it in the fall as I get an extra hour of sleep and hate it in the spring because I lose that extra hour of sleep. Once I adjust to the change all is good and I do enjoy the extra hour of daylight. I do find that I function better on regular time rather than DST.

Am not a morning person, light or no light!!
