What exactly do you hate about the switch to and from daylight savings?

Is it:

1. The change messes up your routine?

2. The hour loss of sleep?

3. Less light at night?

I ask because a lot of us complain about it, but last night I was talking to someone in a hotel elevator in Atlanta, and he was saying he was so tired. I told him I feel like it’s 11:00 at night (it was 7:00pm). Then he said the time change just kills him. I asked him where he just came in from. He said, “Alabama.” I said, “so you’re coming from central time?”

Here’s the thing, for him it was only 6:00 at night. We were standing in eastern time. What the hell is he talking about? He isn’t tired from the time change. He’s backwards. It would make sense if he had been traveling west, not east.

His problem is not a daylight savings scenario, but it’s still about time moving abruptly, which sparked this Q.
