I know my sleep schedule's going to be fucked up until Thursday at the earliest. I'm already up until after 3 most mornings, so now I'll be up until after 4.
I will enjoy the extra sunshine when I'm awake to enjoy it, though!
I won't change my clock until Monday night, right at bed time, that way my weekend stays good. I don't mind screwing up Monday as it's just another work day.
"Losing" this morning hour didn't mess me up. I was up pre-dawn as usual. But instead of being out and about at 4:30, it was now at 5:30. Small difference, ultimately.

Now all you have to accomplish is the utterly trivial task of convincing those who don't mind the status quo to agree with you that what you want is perfect, and that the reprogramming and re-educational cost is worth it.
On the one hand I'm glad that DST came quicker this year but it is screwing things up on my dvd recorder and my daughter's clock radio which has that automatic time thing built in.
