REMINDER - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
For those who adjust their device clocks, Daylight saving time 2020 in California will begin at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 8, 2020. I will change my ResMed AirSense 10 one hour forward a few hours after 12:00 p.m.on Saturday.

RE: REMINDER - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
Okay, I'm turning this thread into a "I HATE THESE TIME CHANGES" thread.
Here in Illinois, I think legislation was introduced to go to one time (I assume DST) permanently all year. I'm for sticking to one or the other, but this regular change every 6 months is for the birds.
But I think that legislation is stalled, and even if it passes, I read that the federal government has to approve the change also. (good luck getting that done in a timely manner).
Did I mention that I
hate these time-changes?? Oh yeah, said that already.

RE: REMINDER - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
My argument for keeping DST throughout the year is that the changes are biologically disruptive, harmful to some degree in humans, result in accidents, and screw-up computer logs.
"Under the Uniform Time Act, moving an area on or off DST is accomplished through legal action at the state level. Congress gives states two options: to either opt-out of DST entirely or to switch to DST the second Sunday in March. Some states require legislation while others require executive action such as a governor's executive order. Information on procedures required in a specific state may be obtained from that state's legislature or governor's office."
I wonder if the legislators see the irony of providing a procedure where states can do as they wish and call it the "Uniform Time Act?"

Here in Arizona, we don't put up with such foolishness.

Doesn’t the resmed Autoset 10 change times automatically since its cellular?
RE: REMINDER - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME
I am for removal of this silly daylight saving time change every 6 months. I saw in a local paper, the state of Maryland is working on a bill to adopt no longer switching. I'm in Pennsylvania, so it wouldn't affect me unless I go there to shop and find the border crossing into a state that might be an hour different.
There is no saving in DST just like common sense doesn't exist in the Gov.
