I hate daylight savings. Three cranky children for a week isn't worth it. And trying to explain it to a kindergartener? He thinks it's just as dumb an idea as I do. Let's pick one time, stay there, and stop the time-hopping madness that makes children everywhere cranky.

This is one reason I really hate this end of it, especially since it starts like three weeks earlier than it used to. I'm a morning person, but also somewhat sun synchronous, so while I usually like getting up at 0500-0600, for about the next month, not so much, and sleeping in till 7am always makes me feel like I've blown part of my day. I'm also an "early to bed" guy, usually in the sack by 2200, so for most of July, that's also a little weird for me because it's only been dark for 1-1.5 hours or so at my latitude before I go to bed.
Then I came to my current company, and more and more I've been able to set my own hours over the years.
Currently I'm generally working 5:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
All my jobs have been "start early" jobs. Early on because they were blue collar and I had no choice. Later on I was also able to set my own schedule and was pretty close to yours Mike, as ideal for me. If I got in the office at 0600, it meant I had a couple of hours of peace to get most of my work for the day done, then around 0800 or so, when all the nitwits started coming into the office, I would be doing my stuff with DC, so had another couple of hours of not being bothered. :)
I have always been way less productive after lunch, so it was also nice to go home in the mid-afternoon and go for a run or whatever to re-energize. Sometimes I'd give myself enough of a boost to work from home for a couple of hours in the evening, which was basically free labor for fed.gov, so the boss never minded my schedule. :)
