I'm sorry but you seem to be mistaken. DST does not benefit farmers. It does benefit anyone who owns a bar with a deck through, so people can enjoy those long summer evenings after work when the weather is nice.

Ok sorry if I'm mistaken on the origin of daylight savings but either way I'm not fond of it. My whole day is thrown off and as for the late summer days that's great and all unless you have small children who won't go to bed because it's still sunny out.

It also helps kids who have to wait for the bus in the mornings.

I was reading this yesterday and it was interesting: http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/index.html

Also not for farmers 'Protests are also put forth by people who wake at dawn, or whose schedules are otherwise tied to sunrise, such as farmers. Canadian poultry producer Marty Notenbomer notes, "The chickens do not adapt to the changed clock until several weeks have gone by, so the first week of April and the last week of October are very frustrating for us."' You can blame ole Benny Franklin for DST.

I hear you 27. I don't really care if it's for safety, farmers, whatever. It messes up my sleep. I've usually only just got used to the new time when they change it again (apparently I'm even less adaptable than chickens). And I clearly remember those summer nights as a kid where you're basically in bed in the middle of the day and you just have to lie there for hours...horrible!

Because not everyone has a smartphone or even wants one. Way to sound like a stuck up jerk.

Even non smart phones change with daylight savings.

OP might use an actual alarm to get up and then use that clock around the house. During the mornings I go by my oven's clock instead of my phone's so it's understandable
