Save Me From Daylight Savings Time

Are you as sick as I am of our twice-yearly clock-adjustment ritual? Do you think, as I do, that we have more than enough daylight and that there’s no need to save any?

I’m sorry, but my internal clock is sufficiently confused and doesn’t need Daylight Savings Time to make my chronic insomnia even worse. And I’m inclined to clock the next person who reminds me to change my damn clocks.

Save Me From Daylight Savings Time (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

My natural clock is a mess.
Just thinking of sleep gives me stress.
Spring forward—fall back
Makes me more out of whack.
So I don’t change my clocks — I just guess.

(More DST humor here.)

    Yeah, I used to love PDT, but now I hate it. Not enough to move to Arizona, but hate it very much.

    I’m a creature of habit so if I don’t set my alarm clock properly, I’m sure to guess wrong. Thanks for this very funny reminder!
