The daylight savings time change that was made this year to lengthen the period when we follow Eastern Daylight Time is depressing. Had we followed the original schedule, then our clocks would have fallen back an hour already. Instead, I now wake up when it’s still dark (well actually I see the sun rising reflected on nearby shiny office buildings) and it gets dark before I leave work — which is rather depressing as I would only see the sun on weekends. Hello SAD. I don’t even wake up early enough for this be a regular experience; the sun should really be up before 8 in the morning.
