I never really noticed any real difference or issue. One's internal clock is an incredibly versitile thing, I have spent much of my youth in trans-pacific travel and never had any issue with jet lag either, it is very simple to deal with the "internal clock" issue. Stay up. Just don't get anywhere enough sleep the night of the change (or arrival) and stay up all day and go to sleep at your normal time by the clock. Guess what, the next morning when the alarm goes you are back in sync.

Indiana just switched to DST for the first time in the last couple of years - it's really messing them up because large chunks of the State are dependent on out of State metropolises like Louisville and Chicago.

Personally, I love it - without DST and the twice a year time changes, I wouldn't know how many clocks and watches I actually own and where they are hidden ;-)

The idea of daylight saving was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin during his sojourn as an American delegate in Paris in 1784, in an essay, "An Economical Project."
 
DST gives us the opportunity to enjoy sunny summer evenings by moving our clocks an hour forward in the spring..

Status: offline 		i honestly didn't realize it was daylight savings time till i went outside yesterday. i was going to a group meetup that was at 4, walked around and didn't find anyone so i decided to go back to my car. when i check my phone(which happens to also be my watch) i notice it says 3 o clock instead of the car and my computer which said 4 o clock. great way of figuring things out. honestly though i loved this switchback, now i'm more awake during the day and the mornings are warmer(at least down here in texas).

I am from Indiana, and we just started it this year, and I hate it.  It's very annoying, and the county next to ours is different, so if you go there you always have to think about that part.  I can see why it was done in the first place, but now I don't see much reason for it.  I can't see that my family of farmers benefited at all, afterall, it only started this year and my family has farmed for almost two hundred years.  We have a Gov. that just had to push it through, just one of the many reasons I didn't vote for him, and wish no one else had either.

Same here ... I spent 4 years in IL and it always messed with me.  I was so glad to be back in IN where people were sane and didn't try to cheat themselves in terms of daylight.  And every time someone says "but you get an extra hour of daylight" ... I ask them which law of physics they've managed to break to bring that about.
