For some people who can't be fucked to care about it (like me, and the person in the original post) it's the changing of the clocks we call daylight saving(s) time, not a particular time zone designation or whatever.

"Don't forget, it's daylight savings time this weekend"... "not again! which way do I move my clock?"

We don't care about the details and we don't care what it's acktually called, we just want to never do it again. Pick a time and stick with it.

I honestly don't think about it. I get up more than an hour before work, and I go to bed early enough to not need an alarm. I only have 4 clocks that don't change automatically (wall clock, oven, two cars), and I just go by the time on my phone, so I just change those when I notice they're wrong.

That said, I think the whole thing is stupid. It throws my sleep off for no reason (less/more time in the morning when it changes), so why keep it?
