Changing the time twice a year has never been a big issue for me. Even with a toddler with a sensitive sleeping schedule.
It changes on a Saturday night. It's almost not noticeable. One day a year you get one less hour; another day you get one more.
I mean if changing the times one hour is so bad, what about flying across 3 or more time zones?
While I know that jet lag _does suck_, if changing the time one hour at the least impactful time of week is so insane, it must make traveling very difficult for some people.
I'm not even campaigning for stopping or DST or ST (I frankly haven't thought about this problem that much because it just hasn't mattered much to me), I'm just surprised it is considered "insane" or a huge deal to many people.
The effects of the shift are more pronounced if you are in the western part of your time zone.
Detroiters go from 6:40am sunrise to 7:40am sunrise, which tends to get noticed while Bostonians go from 5:55am to 6:55am.
Guess where DST was a major political issue in the 20th century (the memory of that and related debates is why the previous generation wanted to ‘let sleeping dogs lie’)
