Clock change most likely will be abandoned

About time. I always need to 7-10 days to fully adapt to the new time schemes, especially the chnage in spring. I hate it.

Doesn't particularly bother me either way but it is interesting to note that Italy and the UK had the lowest number of responses.

Could be the forerunner to a change from GMT to EUMT

Suits me either way, barely notice it anyway.

I am quite sensitive to spring tireness. The clock change just adds to that, for me. Tireness over the day and a longer nap at afternoon are the results.

I could live without all that.

Farmers say their animals, especially egg-chicken and milk cows, are irritated and produce less milk or smaller eggs for some time after each change, too.

Think I am lucky that I do not produce any of the two - just grumpy mood...

I don't buy that farmer thing.. how would the chickens etc. know what time it is? I'd imagine they go by the brightness or irtental clock.

Nature knows many ways to keep all plants and animals in rythms and tacts. Corals spawning simultaneously, down to the minute - even in covered nights when there is no moon to be seen beign just one fon bthe most fascinating examples to me.

The chicke3n does not care for the3 clock. But an inner rythm it got used to and maybe that it even has in its genes. Also: in spring, one hour less time to produce an egg of usual size. Cows: the farmer whoi milks them comes in easier or later by one hour at the time of clock change: a brake of day's rythm, and obviously a different daylight condition.

Sleeping patterns, which are very deeply rooted in us and many animals, I can assure you.

You could as well question that there is somethign called "jet lag'". The difference/effect is just even more clearly, even drmaatic. Some people need just 12 hours to recover, others need up to two weeks.

That old chestnut is total rubbish and really gets me mad!

Farmers must be stupid if they can not set their alarm clocks so the rest of us are left alone.
