oh well, the whole world is spinning to this tune. so it's not just us.
I had heard this too but farmers get up and work when they want/need to not because the clock says so(my dad hated it too) and with factories I worked in one and there were no windows and they had 3 shifts to keep running 24 hrs a day, so what difference would the sunlight make for them? Wish we knew the real reason.
