4. I prefer standard time. I don't mind early sunrises.

But it's the twice-a-year resetting of clocks (and internal rhythm) that is a pain. My computer clock and phone's clock reset automatically, but it's amazing to realize exactly HOW MANY clocks I have around the house. (Stove, microwave x2, coffee pot, guest bedroom, office x3 , master bedroom x 4, garage x2, bathrooms x3, laundry, both cars... plus an assortment of decorative and working shelf-clocks around the house.)

It's an inconvenient and aggravating ritual that serves no good purpose. It's creates anxiety and causes other health issues.

Even though I prefer standard time, I could live with DST... if it just stopped flip-flopping twice a year.
