Clock Change Tonight.

Technically, 2AM tomorrow morning becomes 1AM.

We get back the hour that we lost last March.

Finders keepers, I hopw!

We lose an hour.

the night is one hour longer

We lose an hour of daylight at in the evening, and gain an hour of daylight in the morning.

Gawd, those cookies are awesome!! Wish I had a couple right now.

Yeah, been off for a while but back to annoy a few peeps again.

something about nightime gets me hungry sometimes...

Wish we could all move to universal time. So much easier and no time changes.

but who would have noon at 12 o'clock? only a tiny group

i like having the sun right overhead when the clock says mid-day

I still don't have electricity after tropical storm zeta...so not too worried about it

oh lord

how do you change the time on a sundial?

OK, I'll change clocks.

all the best

Me too. I'm more attuned to the natural position of the sun, so even on the last day of DST, which is today, I still have a sense of one hour being ripped out by Daylight Saving.

I always feel like the clock is running too fast when DST begins either in early March or originally in April (previously late March). By contrast, I always feel like I have a bit more time to do things under Standard.

Sure, maybe the sun sets earlier towards the end of the year, but most people are into some type of lifestyle where they're dependent on artificial lighting in a store or gym, or from a TV monitor or laptop screen regardless.

thank you so much. I am lucky to have a sweetheart wife who really has held us together. I am starting to get angry...every neighborhood around ours has had power for at least 24 hours now

Animals, say livestock, don't live by clocks but by when it gets light and gets dark.

They, like you, feel attuned to the natural day.




try getting chickens home to roost before dark. Or telling a rooster to crow an hour later or earlier!

Gawd I HATE the damned time change. Forward and back. It pisses me off to no end.

They need to end that silly shit, and I’m not joking.





Sorry for acting out in your thread, Ms. Beeches.

I hate it when it occurs in the early part of the year when I lose an hour of sleep. When I have to do everything an hour sooner and faster. That pisses me off.

To me, DST is like a time version of taxes and the IRS. In the case of the DST time change, the government rips off an hour from my 24 hours, just like the way withholding taxes rips off part of my salary.

It is hard to wake up and get started when it is pitch black outside.

They should change the rules and let everyone wake up when it gets light and get to work within their normal prep and commute time.

Then go home whenever it makes sense.

Also, this should reduce the insane traffic rush hour.

And get rid of all those school buses. Cost too much and clogs up the roads.

Kids should be learning on the internet, with some self paced accelerated online courses.

It takes an act of co gress to stop the time changes

If there truly is a Great Reset of the the Ways Of The World, let this be one of them.

If one should sleep with one's head to the north, and one deep-sleeps more healthfully when it's dark, in a world where, once again, "second sleep" is not an archaic term, but in line with the rhythm of the human body; and there are certain carved truths, Time Interruption MUST be the prevailing onslaught.

And yet we are subjected to this abnormalcy annually. Please stop, Industry. Isn't there any natural law you can leave to we mere hoomans?

Great, that means I have to work an extra hour tonight.

Daylight savings is retarded.

Me too, this is some horseshit.

Daylight saving time was already tested in January 1974 during the oil crisis. Reported to work at 8 am and still dark in the northeast. The offset was we had an extra hour of daylight in the afternoon. So do you want an extra hour of daylight in the early morning or the early evening? Meaningless to me, but the bi-yearly clock change is a pain in the butt.

Can I get a boob flash

Nice meme, clockmed.

Finally. I've been getting to work an hour late the last 6 months.

Studies have shown that forcing people to wake up an hour earlier when DST starts in the first quarter of each year does correlate with an uptick in heart attacks.

When clocks are set back to Standard, as will happen tonight, no associated health ailments are as apparent.

Daylight Saving Time not only doesn't save energy, it's also not good for human health.

Standard Time should be the rule, not DST.

I remember reading years ago that sleeping like that helps with out of body experiences.
