Reminds me of Y2K and computer programs only having 1s and 0s resulting in the world stopping.Well it happened and I am still alive,
Yeah but it’s also three thousand six hundred seconds! Try counting that out and see how long it takes you.
thought i finally slept in after years and years. nope. forgot about the time change
Seriously. People who can't handle this must really struggle in other day to day situations.
The people having the health issues probably think it's a BFD.

The daylight saving time transition causes more than grogginess and foul moods. Researchers say that the change has long-term negative consequences for our bodies and minds.
Yes, people with heart or autoimmune/inflammatory conditions can struggle with day to day situations.
Of course. The question is whether moving the hour hand on a clock is responsible for it, which is a silly place to plant your flag knowing a week from now everyone will forget about it like they always do.
So people don't typically adjust sleep/wake times like every weekend at least an hour. Just because some professor/phd student/corporation had a study or "research", to cherry pick from doesn't make it so.The people having the health issues probably think it's a BFD.

Here is an example of something that is obviously wrong.
"Moving the clocks forward in the spring results in going to sleep and waking up before our internal clocks are ready for us to. This misalignment lasts for the duration of DST, Spira says, and can reduce the amount of sleep we’re able to get, to the detriment of our health. "
So all the way until fall, your clock is off. I guess you should never ever move across time zones or you'll be living your whole life out of sync. The general rule to recover when crossing multiple times zones was one day for each hour change. 6+ months for one hour, nah.

"Fortunately, most people can acclimate to the time change within a week or so, Spira says. To make it easier, the AASM offers a list of suggestions to help people prepare, like gradually adjusting your sleeping and waking times, setting your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday evening and going to bed at your normal bedtime, and getting outside for some exposure to early morning sunlight on Sunday."The people having the health issues probably think it's a BFD.

Nice little projection there. I'm not even against DST and like this time of year except for the first couple of days.
If there's evidence to suggest that people have health issues due to the change, I'd guess they don't enjoy it and perhaps it's more complicated than just 'well what happens on vacation!?'.
Empathy not your strong suit?
Those people should try getting off the couch today and going for a walk. That will help them more than not changing clocks twice a year.
Yes people with physical ailments due to autoimmune conditions that make walking painful should just go for a walk.
Well, I don't really want to live my life in a sink, soooooo...
Do these people have serious issues with staying up an hour late on a Saturday night? If so why do so many do it?
How bout staying up late to watch a NFL game?
How about getting up early to go somewhere?
Does it kill them to go on vacation and have to adjust their clock to a new Time zone?
People adjust their sleep times dozens of times a year, if not more. And seem to manage.
Hell I worked in an industry that you were on call 24/7/365. No set time, no days off, you sleep when you can. And we managed. You work one day 8-5, then get called back in at 2am and work until 2pm, then get called back in at midnight and work until 8 am, then might get a day and get called in at 6am then next day.
I know a lot of people that stay up not just 1 hour late every weekend but stay up multiple hours, then they ***** about changing the clock an hour a couple times a year.
There may be a small percentage of the people you are talking about. Very small, as even those that have such conditions, only a small percentage may be affected by a 1 hour time change. So you are using a tiny percentage of the population as reasoning.
Many times these "studies" and articles are done by people with huge bias going in. They want and sway the data to match their predetermined agenda. Its really easy to put emphasis on a certain result no matter how minute in order to "prove" your predetermined preferred outcome.
You all should get some ribeyes thawed out for dinner tonight. It's going to be a great evening to sit outside in the sun and have a couple beers while you grill.
