Time changes can be some of the most annoying aspects of what we accept as a society. Daylight savings time has been an issue for many people during the half-century that it has been utilized and benefits only a small number of people. Changing the time every 6 months or so can cause serious problems with your circadian rhythm. As soon as you get comfortable with a set bed time, it suddenly changes.
