What is this changing of clocks you speak of? The rest of the country needs to exit the crazy train and stop following DST. Most studies show it does nothing beneficial and may actually affect energy consumption negatively, not to mention the psychological toll on people having to suffer through losing sleep and disrupting their circadian rhythm.

Yeah, plus the days start to get longer months before the days get warmer.

OT: As for changing time, due to DST... I got a couple of these clocks. At least you don't need to climb up the wall, twice a year. And the multi-battery ones last quite a bit longer than single battery ones. One in the garage is going on three years, with same alkaline batteries.

I am soooooo glad to be retired. We had over 30 clocks and timers to change twice a year. Stupid, just stupid. Pick a time and stay on it!!

I lifted this from Lee Dawson on Facebook.

I received a double bonus this year. I was in Paris when they changed over a week before we do so I got an extra hour of sleep. Next weekend, at home, another hour of sleep!

Cracks me up all the discussions of circadium rhythm disruption. That is my life as an international airline pilot. Welcome to the world of melatonin.

Time is make believe.

I'm with you Lainey. The amount of day light matters more than the time on the clock but this time I found the "fall back" hour to be really difficult. One would think the extra hour of sleep would be easy to accept but here I am still struggling to adjust.
