Bane of Rhythms
By now most Americans have realized that daylight saving time here ended last Sunday morning, a week later than what has traditionally been the date for the turnover. Not soon enough for me — I view daylight saving time as, to quote Terry Pratchett, an abomination unto Nuggan. Thankfully there is now scientific evidence to support such a view: a recent study indicates that the twice-annual time shift disrupts human circadian rhythms for many weeks after each event.

I saw that and rejoiced! I have always loathed daylight savings time, with a vehemence I used to think irrational. Now science is on my side!
