And just what does it save?

It has been almost three whole days since daylight savings time started and I have not yet adjusted. But I am not alone. Most of at work today agreed that we felt like we had jet lag, a little fuzzy, not our usual quick thinking selves. I have heard that it takes about three days to adapt, so hopefully our internal rhythms will reset pretty soon. However there are schools of thought that say it really takes half a year to adjust and others that say our brains and bodies never really adjust at all. It seems strange that one little hour can cause such problems, but apparently it does. When DST begins we may also experience headaches, drowsiness, and lack of a sound sleep, but there are more serious consequences, too. Shortly after the spring time change, the incidence of heart attacks increases as well as the suicide rate. At least we will have eight months to adjust and then falling back is a bit easier. Whatever...I just wish the decision makers would choose either EST or DST year round with no switching.
