Daylight Savings Time

It's daylight savings time again. This is the time that I wish I lived in a state that did not practice this insane messing with time. We are losing an hour this time of year. I am a CNA in a nursing home on the day shift. We start getting residents up at 6 a.m. But with the time change, they are not going to be ready to get up at 6 because it's going to feel like 5 and too early to get up. Not to mention the exhausted staff who will miss that hour of sleep. In the fall, the residents tend to get up too early. The overnight shift starts complaining that residents are wanting to get up at 5 because they think it's 6 and ready to get up for breakfast. And it isn't just the nursing home population. It's anyone who has a day job, church attendees, and even pets and farm animals who are on a regular schedule for feeding, playing, and expecting families home. This disruption lasts for about 2 weeks but some, especially pets, don't ever adjust. Is all this stress really necessary? I may be wrong but I was told it was to get the farmers to work longer. Why? Don't they work hard enough as it is? So much of what they do depends on the weather rather than time anyway. So what is with making them work an extra hour? I have not heard anyone, no matter what their occupation, say they looked forward to daylight savings time. Can we just put an end to thee madness and do away with daylight savings time?
