For those of you who operate under daylight savings time you must be feeling some relief right now. We've finally fallen back and I no longer have to wake up before the sun comes up. We are biologically programed to sleep at night and wake with the sun. Unfortunately the recent extension of daylight savings time has forced most of us to spend 1-2 months fighting our natural inclinations.
We have just finished year two of a country wide experiment caused by the candy companies. They have been lobbying congress for decades to move the fall back date until after Halloween. They want to have a larger Trick-or-Treat turn out and they think that daylight savings time is the key. I'd argue that the loss of productivity due to the extension is not worth the economic boost the country might get by buying a few extra bags of candy.
