I've read or heard that some countries have abolished fall and spring time changes, citing various health reasons. I wish we would abolish them, too! I don't follow the logic behind them.

I wish we'd go back to making the change about a month later, when the shift in the early morning light isn't quite so obvious. I'm just getting used to being able to wake up with the light, and now we're going back to the dark ages. Groan!
FR: Sunrise in Baltimore on Saturday is at 6:23 a.m. Standard Time, which will shift to 7:21 a.m. Daylight Time on Sunday. We won't see sunrise at 6:21 a.m. (EDT) again until April 21. Sorry.

Barbara, hear, hear! That's my beef with the earlier time change as well. And just when I was starting to be able to wake up without my alarm clock!

Before I retired, if I woke up in mid-March to sunrise on a weekday, it was because I was either sick or late for work. That 6:30 AM train out of Penn Station wouldn't wait for me if I were running late.
