Guested Account Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Except for a few of you U.S. Residents who don't have to fall back 1 hr: Officially, the switch occurs at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 7. Clocks need to be set back one hour to accommodate the change. The country will remain on Standard Time until March 13, 2011. This is also a good time to take the opportunity to change the batteries in your smoke detectors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Fall back 1 hour tonight again! 1 hour less sleep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 My mistake. Andrea just pointed out it's 1 hr extra sleep. Hey! I failed Algebra 1A and 1B and Geometry 1A in High School. So I am excused from making such math mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted November 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Well, back to falling back one hour which means one extra hour to stay up late and doing nothing on the internet while everyone else is sleeping including both kittens.

Guested Account Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 I woke up about 7 am new time, checked my email and checked the internet, Andrea asked me if I wanted breakfast, I said not yet, Laid down on the sofa and fell asleep until 10 am. Usually once I am up, I am up regardless of the time of the morning even if it's still 4 am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Account Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 This Daylight Savings still kicking my butt. Every Day since Sunday, I go to sleep around 11 pm, wake up about 5 am: 6 hours sleep average each of those nights. But by 11 am I'm ready for a nap but I can't take one because I am at work.

Guested Account Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I had a thought yesterday. Instead of 1 hour Spring forward and 1 hour Fall back, why not just meet halfway and have 30 minutes Spring forward and 30 minutes Fall back. That will be easier on everyone's natural internal body clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I remember one year when I was in high school they didn't turn the clocks back to conserve oil i think and I saw the sun coming up in first period in school. It's not fun going to school in the dark lol or work for that matter. It was cool watching the sun come up though instead of paying attention to the teacher.

Guested Account Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hello 911??? I want to report a crime! 1 hour of my sleepy time was stolen from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom@LCO Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Arizona, Hawaii, Guam, The U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and American Samoa don't turn the clocks ahead. They really don't need to. This all started in 1918 in an effort to save fuel during World War 1. The U.K. starts theirs last Sunday of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
