Daylight Saving = Sleepy and Unproductive Students

You had to see my 8:00 a.m. class students today -- none of them had eyes fully open, our usual lively discussion was replaced by deathly silence, and even good students did not finish their assignments. Can't blame my kids, though -- I was barely awake myself!

But, of course, someone has a rationale for this crazy ritual adopted around the world:

"Just as sunflowers turn their heads to catch every sunbeam, so too have we discovered a simple way to get more from our sun." Quoted from http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/.

Catching sun? Are you people kidding? More like losing! Give my hour of sweet dreams back!
