Daylight Savings

Today is the start of daylight savings. This practice was made official in most US states in 1942 to help in the war effort. It also supposedly saves a lot of money (by using natural light during the working day) and prevents crime (because people do not have to venture out as much in the dark). While I think we all enjoy the extra hour we get at the end of daylight savings time (the "fall back" switch), I think a lot of people are annoyed by the loss of an hour at the "spring forward" time, which is today. I'm sure that many meetings are missed, events are missed, probably even planes are missed all because people are an hour behind. Not to mention it seems to mess up my sleeping habits. Is this all worth it?
