But in a weird way. We spring forward, right. So we lose an hour if sleep. So you’d think of be extra tired. But what’s weird is I’ve been waking up and the clock says 4am. Which was 3am. Why the he’ll am I waking up at 3am!

It messed with my phone for a day or so… I have an Android, and while the phone’s system clock updated to DST, the clock on the AccuWeather widget that I have on my home screen did not. Strangely enough, when I hit the widget’s Refresh icon to update the weather, THAT showed the correct time but the widget’s time display kept showing an hour behind. It didn’t catch up until some time Monday afternoon.

I am just 100% out of it. it is not just sleep/time issues. I am just completely off my circadian rhythm

I’m not a fan of the time change

I am with you there, I have not had a full nights sleep since the change…
I have seen my wife off to work both yesterday and today, she is a nurse and heads out before 5AM…

Normally I am up about 6AM, this week, 4AM…

The time changes need to end, it’s getting more cumbersome considering parts of the US (and the world) no-longer do time changes. What are we gaining by doing the time changes anymore? How much loss productivity is caused by doing the time changes? How many accidents is it causing? I had to manually change the clocks on all the Win98 computers (I know it’s old) and others needed to go around and manually change all the wall clocks.

The time change is a big waste of time (hehehehe) and money!

Ours (UK) doesn’t happen until the end of March but I am looking forward to it as it will mean an extra hour of light after work to get out and do stuff.

I think time change is great, I vote we should have it twice a year, every year :slight_smile:

I’d assume you’re also going to be an hour earlier, and that is likely to be screwing up your body clock.

Can test the theory in a couple of weeks when the UK clocks change :slight_smile:

Can’t say I disagree.

Let’s both just be thankful we don’t live in Indiana: Time in Indiana - Wikipedia

Same thing here. It’s chemtrails.

Or aliens.

Or the flu vaccine.

However it shakes out, it’s the gubmint’s fault.

The wife and I are both being sleep deprived because of this evil shit. Why don’t they just get rid of this nonsense

It always seems to happen on the day of the Australian Grand Prix which is on at WhatBloodyTimeDoYouCallThis O’clock in the morning anyway, so I’m faced with trying to work out whether or not my phone will autocorrect the alarm times and, if so, in which direction.

I’d like to see permanent DST. I like getting home with some light left in the sky.

Acclimation doesn’t seem to be a problem for me. Most work days I go to bed early, and wake up just before my alarm. This cycle was no different. Hardest was living in Seattle, where it stayed light until nearly 10pm in the Summer.

The time change itself should probably go away, but how do we decide which way to go?

A Spiceworks poll? I think I’d like to see the results of that one!

I too have a little DST problem. I can’t fall asleep at a decent hour even though I’m super sleepy. It usually takes me nearly a week to adjust.

I guess I might be one of the weird ones. I love DST. It’s like its where I belong…in a different dimension…away from people and full of tacos and beer.

I don’t dislike DST. I dislike changing time twice a year. Let’s just pick one and stick too it.

But I do say a dimension full of tacos and beer sounds fricken awesome!
