[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm the mom of the guy with MS and needing spinal fusion related to a past back injury (the MS may have contributed to discectomy failure as his gait is affected). But yeah, there's that (and some nights I have a little trouble sleeping but most of the time I drift right off) but I guess I am just one of those people who doesn't do well with the spring change (I'm fine with the extra hour in the fall!). Plus, it was finally light out when I get up in the morning and now back to darkness.

But even if you say it doesn't affect your functioning, statistics says otherwise, and it take a few weeks to reset.

[quote]Sleep deprivation also leads to performance deficits on reflex and attention tasks. These tiny lapses may manifest themselves in fatal traffic accidents in the five days following the transition to daylight saving time, when the risk of such a crash occurring increases by 6%. In the seven days following the spring DST transition, research also has found an 18.7% increase in patient safety-related incidents in health care settings that likely were due to human error.[/quote] (plenty of sites with similar info if you google)
