my yearly daylight saving time reminder thread

[Carek1230]

Don't tell me you play that multiple alarm clock game too?!!

 

[Doozer61]

well she has one that she sets a half hour earlier because she has a process


mine is set for the time i actually need to get up. i have no process.

Wait a minute, isn't that next week? That's what the calendar on Yahoo says.

This morning I was awake at 4:30 and it was so dark out. My first thought was next week this will be 5:30 am. That is when the first alarm clock goes off.

You really should try my trick of setting your clock for random times, like 5.17am or something. You can try and fool yourself to thinking you've woken up naturally. Everyone thinks I'm mental for this, but I've done it for years. Alarm at an irregular time makes a better start to the day.

You're not going to think I'm mental, are you, dooz?

Yup. Make sure they're changed before you go to bed on March 8th.

I'm looking forward to longer days and more sunlight.

I think it's a grand idea!

I do that But I add time by setting the alarm to a time an odd amount ahead of time like 23 mins, 11 mins, 17mins fast....works for me!

I totally forgot until my dad told my mom while we visited her in the hospital today

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Again??
I'm still getting over the last time we changed the clocks

My reaction when I saw that the thread was bumped was "NOOO! NOT AGAIN!!!!"

I don't want my hour to be taken away

I do too, but hate losing that extra hour of sleep.

 

[Sicy]

How do you lose an hour, just sleep in an extra hour on Sunday

 

[Schmeg]

You'll get it back in the fall! I can't wait until the sun is up until 7 pm in March!

Wayne did our clocks change ?

 

[waynetravis]

My calendar says we change ours in 2 weeks

 

[vaz02]

^ Ahh ok lol, cos the time on forums is like a hour ahead.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I actually remembered on my own this year...then ended up sleeping really late today because of the change

Had me wondering too lastnight.

 

[angelordevil]

I really like the extra light in the evening.

 

[Carek1230]

^I agree! It gives me more time especially after work to do things outside. I love it.

Like picture-taking! I missed a great opportunity to do that today as I was heading home after dinner at a friend's...a horse was silhouetted against the sunset in a farmer's field. Looked so amazing.

I used to hate Daylight Savings Time until I moved further north where it's only light bettween 8am and 3:30pm in the winter.

 

[randhail]

I loved waking up at 6:45 today and having it be dark out.

Early DST is in the pantheon of bad ideas somewhere between New Coke and the Electoral College.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Completely forgot about it yesterday. I have way too many clocks for just one person.

Spring
