don't forget about the clocks this weekend!

most of mine are automatic now

[Mountaindewed]

I always feel really off when daylight savings begins. I expect to feel confused all day tomorrow. I think it is what sets off my sleep issues that go on throughout the summer.

I have my one alarm clock in my room and then the kitchen stove and family room clock. But every other one is automatic.

I think Daylight Savings is unnecessary. I wish Texas didn't do it.

Ugh, WHEN will DST be removed from our lives?! It serves no purpose and messes people up.

As for the poll, I chose "Other" because 2 of my clocks are automatic, 2 are not - but I won't forget to reset them. And then there's my car clock, which is not automatic.

I never set the clocks back, I’m so ready to spring ahead. Can’t wait for the longer days.

Ah in UK it's weekend 28th

[downandlonely]

yeah, each country is different

I forget what you have to do to not mess up your entire schedule for awhile. I thought it was go to sleep 2 hours later on Friday night and one hour later on Saturday. Although I’m probably mistaken.

[downandlonely]

Not at this time period. We're springing forward, so you'll want to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier.

I chose other because all my clocks except my PC are manual but I never forget to change them. I change all of them right before I leave for work at 9pm so then I don't have to worry about it when I get home in the morning. I also reset our wall clock here at work otherwise it would never get changed lol

I mean when it was first instituted it worked as intended but as we changed and grew away from most everyone being a farmer it became obsolete. Yet here we are in 2021 still changing our freaking clocks. I wonder if they will ever do away with it since it no longer serves a purpose

And of course I woke up and looked at my alarm clock and spent 15 minutes thinking it was that time until I looked at my phone. I fell asleep late last night. And I woke up early and I don’t feel like going back to sleep. So I think I’m already screwed.

My mom told me last night taking a 20 minute nap is what your supposed to do.

Arizona got rid of daylight savings time years ago. It's up to the states.

[Soupe du jour]

I have ones that change automatically and some that require manual resetting. Perhaps some I change later in the day (or the next day), but I don't permanently forget them. Perhaps some old watch in my jewelry box, but actually they are mostly out of juice, anyway.

DST is a different day in the US, than in the country I am living in. DST where I am is next week. That requires a little thought because I am still having appointments with a doctor in the US. So today the time difference is 5 hours. Next week it will be back to 6 hours, which it usually is.

I completely forgot about it last week and didn't notice until midmorning. I wish I could be on DST all the time. It's like my sleep pattern suddenly becomes normal, I go to bed at 9 and wake up at 4. That's much better than 8 and 3!

I absolutely detest DST. I much prefer it when it gets dark early. I was in hospital (for two weeks) this year, so I didn't really notice it until I got home.
