Oh goodie: Daylight Savings Time again this weekend! For most of my life I've been a night person. But almost like clockwork when I turned 50, my body clock started waking me up when the sun comes up, which I resisted at first but have grown used to (it's actually my fav part of the day now). But I basically have to start going to bed an hour earlier after this Sunday because then I will be wide awake an hour earlier. I would be very happy if the US followed British Columbia's lead in permanently adopting daylight time. All this moving clocks and body clocks around is just silly in 2026.

@briankrebs BC was apparently waiting for the US west coast states to do this and has given up waiting. WA, OR and CA I believe all have this on the books, waiting for congressional approval which never comes.

Apparently the federal legislation governing this allows states to go to year-round STANDARD time without federal approval, but not to year-round DST (per my reading of the Uniform Time Act on Wikipedia). I'm in favor of year round standard time, but no one listens to me.

This will be my first clock change since I retired and stopped setting an alarm. I wonder when I'll wake up Sunday morning?

@lhauser @briankrebs I'm so happy BC decided to just move forward on our own. Hopefully more will follow. 9am sunrise in the winter isn't too bad, by 3am sunrise in the summer would have been killer. I'd still accept that over continuing to switch, though.
