Title: Clocks go back
Post by: metsrock69 on November 02, 2019, 04:41:46 pm
On saturday nov 2nd  in some parts of the country, we turn the clicks back 1 hour. Not all states do this because I have family in arizona and they don't  change their clocks . We get an extra hour sleep.  ;)

We change ours back also live outside of Chicago.  I really hate this time of year because it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home.  Hate the sun setting at 4:30

Yes, it's once again that time! I'm not really a fan and find it's just a disruption!   ::)

    Time goes crazy!  :(
     In some places, you do not do anything to your clock.

I hate to change the time, I feel like I am just dragged out for a few days until my body adjusts!

i love the extra hour of sleep!
however, i hate the rest of it.It will be dark really early and November is famous for lack of sunshine in the state of Mass.
i wish they would get rid of the time change but i am not sure what the solution is. no other state in New england want to get rid of it as a result not sure what time zome we would be in if we did. :pumpkin: :peace: :wave:

Yes! It's the day where everyone gains an hour and wakes up "early"....what are your thoughts on making these time changes every year?

I wish they would leave it alone.  One way or the other.  But it is not a big deal.  It doesn't screw me up for weeks and weeks like some people claim it does.

I love daylight savings but only when I get that extra hour to sleep! LOL

We turn the clocks back in Pennsylvania.  I hate that it gets dark at 4:30

Look at the clock.  IT is the time is states.  I turned my back a couple hours before I went to bed.  IT is funny though because I woke up at around 2:00 this morning.  But it was 2:00 by the new time so the old time it would have been 3:00. haha

But I know all day today people will look at their clocks and say oh I don't know what time it is.  IT IS THE TIME IT SAYS on your watch or the clock or your phone or what ever you are looking at.

Never really understood how you gain an extra hour of time but...

When I worked over nights I used to take this day off because it seemed like the night just dragged on.  I didn't mind when we turned it forward though.

Spring forward/Fall back.

I do not adjust to the time change very well. They should abolish Daylight Savings Time.

Most of my clocks changing automatically, so I'm not sure I would even notice if I was unaware of the time change. It's just an hour.

I turned mine back early Saturday evening so I wouldn't forget. my oven clock doesn't work so now it can get confusing with different times.

I wish the entire country would get rid of this policy.  It is especially difficult to deal with the early evening darkness when you have Seasonal Affective Disorder.  Winter, itself, is bad enough but what seems like this little bit of daylight makes a big difference for me. From now until the end of February, it is particularly trying to keep my mood up and energized!

I'm looking forward to the extra daylight in the morning while I'm getting ready and going to work. The time change has no effect on the hours of daylight we receive.

Exactly. I didn't even notice the time changed. It's only an hour. I don't understand how it screws people up so much, unless you work overnight when it changes. I go to sleep when I'm tired, and I wake up when I'm done sleeping. The number on the clock makes no difference.  ???

I hate it.  It's so depressing when it gets dark at 5pm.

I'm enjoying the end of Daylight Savings Time now, light in the morning & an extra lazy hour in the AM this morning -- BUT, it is going to suck when it gets dark (and freezing) at 5pm.  Ugh.

I wondered how that worked as well.  Like factories that work round the clock.  I guess you manually get an hour over time.  It does make a difference in the fact that when time falls back depending on when you get off you are not getting off til after dark.

We live in Georgia and our daughter reminded us to change our clocks.

It's looney why they do this.  Select a time frame and leave it along.  Really stupid.

It would be nice if they left it one way or the other and stop all this switching around.  I read that several states want to change it and I hope it catches on soon.

I did not know this was going on. But, I do now. I guess. Yeah, been noting some shades of light change, but not real sure how it all comes together.

We change ours back here in Georgia too. This is the first year that I forgot about it. I thought that I got up late Yesterday. Do you know that it took me until the Afternoon to realize that the Clocks had been set back an hour. I felt so dumb.

It was very confusing for us this year.  We were staying in Laughlin, NV while visiting relatives that lives in Bullhead City, AZ (right across the bridge from each other).  Laughlin turned the clocks back an hour and Bullhead City did not.  We had to specify which time zone when we would schedule to meet.

Why? We have longer days and shorter nights with DST. I hate the fact that we will now see daylight at 7 a.m. and night at 4:30 p.m. with higher electric costs.  During Daylight Savings Time, we see daylight at 5:30 a.m. and night at 8:30 p.m. We can get so much more done during those hours.

I think this is the first time in a while that I did not feel confused by the changing of the clocks. It always occurs on my birthday weekend so I usually notice it. Not this year!
