Used to live in Arizona, so I never ended up using daylight savings time until I was about 11 years old. Then I moved and had to start using it. In all the time I've been using daylight savings time, not once have I forgotten to change the time, and not once has my sleep schedule been messed up because of it. I suppose not everyone's the same, but any flexible person can do it, really. Also, you can at least try to talk to your counselors if you really have that much of an issue with a single tardy.
There is one thing I dislike, though. I move around a lot, and it can be pretty confusing when I'm either right above or driving over a location that does not use daylight savings time. My phone will go crazy changing times back and forth over places that use or don't use DST. That can make it a lot more confusing to tell how much time has passed than without DST. Let's be honest: time zones are about as useless as ever, anyways. I hate the idea that midnight always has to be 12:00 at night, everywhere you go. I personally don't think time should have to do with relative position of the sun at all. But hey, those are just my opinions.
