Daylight Savings Ends, The Clocks Fall Back

[mso489]

A public service reminder for areas that observe the return to standard time, which actually occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday morning, but requires resetting your clocks before you retire for the night. I dislike the early dark days of November, and especially the evenings when it feels like ten p.m. at seven p.m., but the seasonal changes are pleasing, mostly.

Ban it!

Trying to alter the circadian rhythms of my toddlers twice a year sucks.

This means I get an extra hour with my daughter this weekend! Yay! I grew up in AZ so this whole daylight savings stuff is still really weird for me. It takes the body sometime to adjust to the difference.

The worst! Looking forward to "springing forward" already.
Thanks for the PSA, I really did forget.?

An extra hour of 2020... no thanks.

Well, it's nice to get an extra hours sleep but not at the expense of spending another minute in 2020.

Not here in Arizona! Not everything Arizona does as a state is smart, but not participating in DST is brilliant.

Thanks. My main time piece, an iPhone, takes care of that automatically. The manual re-sets I like to do in the following morning.

...but WHERE and HOW am I supposed to store it?

They never tell you that part, do they?

It's like the whole time-keeping world is having a big joke...

Every Fall it's "Save your daylight! Save your daylight!," then every Spring you're supposed to turn it loose again.

Startin' to wear me out.

I never reset my clocks. They're either off an hour or they're not.

 

[sumusfumus]

What a pain-in-the-ass stupid ritual! Split the damn hour in half and leave the clocks alone.

I swear I get 90% of my news from this forum....idk what I'd do without some of you guys!

other way round for me.

who would have thought that would be what they get right when no one else does.

 

[anotherbob]

people say it's for farmers because they won't work until the clock tells them to. Oh wait that makes no sense.

Right? Of course, it particularly makes sense for Arizona. When it's 115 outside during a summer afternoon, all you want is for the Sun to go down as early as possible. I loved the long summer evenings and twilights growing up in Oregon, but that would be (even more) brutal here.

Thanks,MSO.I had forgotten it.

In N.C. the strongest argument is that standard time keeps school kids from roaming around in the dark getting to school, and getting run over. That always seems to settle the discussion. Otherwise, I'd prefer DST year round. I like sable's remedy of just leaving the clocks alone. That's what I end up doing in my car, but the house clocks and wristwatches I reset.

Agree. It’s one of the most antiquated practices in society... so farmers have more time to plant crops... saves energy... etc. All debatable. Whatever the reason, let’s move on...

I really wish they did away with it. I hate going into the office and leaving when it’s dark out.
