Half of our family is home sick, physically ill, due to time change today. Yes, we all took some sort of sleep aid last night to try to help, but we're #ActuallyAutistic sensitive folk. There will also be an increase in car crashes and heart attacks this week due to time change. How is this a minor issue not worth bothering to fix? #TimeChange

@Kellyshenanigans I'm curious about other people's experience of this... I don't like the time change, but for me the negative impact is felt when the time changes in the fall and lasts all winter long until it changes back in the spring, when all of the sudden everything feels correct again.

For me, losing that hour of daylight in the evening in favor of having it in the morning throws me off SO badly.

@spika @Kellyshenanigans Standard time was definitely Wrong for me until I switched to my current ADHD meds which made it harder for me to sleep when it's light out. Now I don't have as strong of an opinion but I just wish they'd pick one.

I've also read that there's a huge difference in which one people prefer based on whether they live on the east or west side of a time zone, which makes sense.
