Change your clock
« on: March 09, 2019, 05:33:31 pm »
Don't forget to set your clocks ahead an hour at 2AM.  Spring Forward/Fall Back.  :) :)  I usually wait until morning because I don't stay up until 2AM.   I used to like this night when I worked overnights  but I dis-liked turning them back in the fall.

I hate Daylight Saving Time! What good does it really do?! It just delays daylight and harmfully affects mental health! We should stick to standard time! DST was never a good idea to begin with!

I doubt anybody will get up at 2:00 AM and set their clocks ahead.  Not sure why people think you have to do it at 2 AM exactly.  But I have heard of people who do. lol.

I set mine before I go to bed.  I completely forgot it yesterday until about 8 last night.  Usually it is online and on the TV more.

How does it harmfully effect mental health?  I have never understood how people say it takes them weeks to recover from the time changing.  I don't see how it could take over one day. 

I do agree with pick one way or the other and leave it alone.  I like it the way it is right now.  I heard something about a couple of states were opting out of this and leaving it the same all the time.  Now THAT would be confusing.  This state does it.  This state doesn't  smh

I don't get it either. It's only an hour, and it's only one day a year. I can see if you work weekends or night shifts, but you know it's coming, so plan ahead. Go to sleep earlier maybe?

It's never affected me at all. Do other people get exactly the same amount of sleep every night? Sometimes I get 8 hours, sometimes only 4 or 5. Yeah, sometimes I'm tired in the morning - well almost always, but that's what coffee is for.  :thumbsup:

I did forgot to set my Clock up an Hour. When I woke up, I thought it was Five in the Morning, but it was actually Six in the Morning. I ran late this Morning, but it was not too bad because it is Sunday.

I usually do it when I go to bed the night of but I forgot until this morning. Most of my stuff automatically updates but I do have a few clocks to change. The one in the car is hard to change.

Always change them the day before and also check the smoke detectors at the same time.  Even went to bed an hour earlier last night so I wasn't running late today.

Did that early yesterday evening for the two clocks we have in house, that  need to be changed manually. Hope spring weather is right around the corner.

I make sure I change at least one clock before I go to sleep, that way you don't have to stay up or get back up.

I don't have a clock in my bedroom and use my phone to look at the time (changed automatically). When I went into the kitchen and looked at the time on the stove, I was so confused for a minute!  :)
