It's not the loss of an hour of sleep.
It's an extra hour of climbing, etc.

Yup^^ that's my take on it. I love being able to climb after work and still have hours of daylight.
My sleep pattern always self adjusts long before the clocks change. I've been waking up at 4:30 in the morning for the last week. Now it will be 5:30.

the best part is the clock in my car will be correct again instead of being an hour ahead.

Those of us who rise with the sun will get an extra hour of sleep tonight.
My livestock won't know it's six-in-the-morning tomorrow because it'll still be dark at six!

here in arizona, standing resolutely upon the no change principle while everyone else shifts about us has it's own rewards. like sharing time zones with a whole different set of states, enjoying nationally scheduled programming at a different hour while locally generated stuff remains as advertised.
the atomic clocks need to be wrangled back into line, the older ones in a few weeks cause they're programmed according to previous guidelines.
while y'all can smugly calculate the time shift for the long distance caller using the same old conversion, we check the calender first ... then choose between options ... before wading into the confusion.
and then there's the reservations invoking their own brand of defiance.
i understand there's some places that are off by the HALF hour!
and internationally, it's more or less "time shift season."
for a coupl'a months ... SuTaco time be JIVIN' !!!

You're right Hooblie. I was born in Newfoundland where the time is 1/2 hour ahead of eastern Canukistan.
There are reasons they call us 'Goofy Newfies'.

the whole time change thing sucks dog snot. I wish we would stick with daylight saveings time. Much better for climbing.. Set the clocks to DLS and leave them there.....

Put the clock where it is supposed to be and leave it. The energy conservation and safety that supposedly is gained by D.S.T. is unproven.

"Lost" hour of sleep only is a bummer for those who either don't get enough sleep naturally or are regimented by somebody else's clock which impinges on your freedom.
Sorry for those who face that dilemma, but I can provide a clue as to escaping it:
RUN!

Not my favorite, but no big deal, really.
Funny that Arizona of all places has it right.
