Daylight Savings Time Ends

<p>Don’t forget to set your clocks back tonight. We get an extra hour of sleep!!</p>

<p>That is the most delicious hour! Done…and now off to enjoy my free sleep!</p>

<p>best weekend of the year!</p>

<p>Extra hour of sleep? I thought it was an extra hour to play on CC :)</p>

<p>I wish I could figure out how to tell my cat!</p>

<p>as a night shifter , it was an extra hour of work!!!</p>

<p>Love the extra hour of sleep but dread it getting dark so early.</p>

<p>

I never thought about that! So sorry!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Only people who set an alarm for early Sunday morning (not me) get an extra hour.</p>

<p>For all others, the body has no idea what time is on the clock and will get up whenever it wants.</p>

<p>And, pageagain, I also once had an overnight job and had to work an extra hour.</p>

<p>Anyone notice that the forums’ clock (shown at the bottom of the web page) was incorrect during the time between US Eastern time and your local time were not in the same daylight / standard setting? For example, in US Pacific time, 10:59 PM rolled to 10:00 PM on the forum clock (still saying that “All times are in GMT -7”); this was when, in US Eastern time, 1:59 AM EDT went to 1:00 AM EST.</p>

<p>Isn’t the correct term “Daylight Saving”, without the “s”? I’ve seen it both ways, but more often without the “s”.</p>

<p>I think the whole spring forward, fall back thing is confusing. We even changed when we fell back to November, from October, fairly recently. Would like to see all 50 states keeping DST all year round, not just HI and AZ. I just read that Indiana had half their state on DST and half not on DST up until 2006. That must have been confusing. During the energy crisis, we (CA) had DST extended because it was shown to preserve energy. I can live having it dark at 6 AM.</p>

<p>I’ve never understood this extra hour of sleep thing. I wake up when I’m done sleeping. No alarm. I can’t imagine my body knows I should sleep an hour later. The way I look at it, I get an extra hour of Sunday. That I like.</p>

<p>^ Not all of us are fortunate enough to not need an alarm on Sundays :p</p>

<p>OMG …I was just about to leave an hour too early to an event. THANKS</p>

<p>Yah, now I can run in the mornings before work without needing a seeing eye dog to find my way down the sidewalk!</p>

<p>My cats were not amused this morning when we slept past their feeding time and started banging on the bedroom door in desperation. :)</p>

<p>“I’ve never understood this extra hour of sleep thing.” - </p>

<p>Some of us need to set the alarm to go to work or church on Sunday. In my case I teach Sunday School - it’s great to get some extra sleep first :wink: Ah, but they payback comes at “spring ahead”.</p>

<p>Going to work at 7 AM on Sunday, I find this weekend rather lovely schedulewise. Nice to go out last night, and worry less about bedtime. The night shift seemed very happy this AM, despite the extra hour of work, they had more hours to complete their tasks.</p>

<p>^ Opposite at my work lol. At the shelter, weekend shifts are already their longest (8 hours vs 6 hours on week nights). They usually complete their work in 4 and then get to sit and monitor the shelter for the next 2-4 hours. Another hour on top of that didn’t leave her very happy this morning lol. </p>

<p>I quite enjoyed the extra hour. But to me, it feels much earlier than it actually is rather than the opposite. Weird.</p>
