Forum Administrator Posted March 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2020 Are you really losing an hour of sleep? My argument is no. You lose an hour of being awake. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 8, 2020 Share #3 Posted March 8, 2020 I’m not changing any clocks tonight. I’ll probably be up before 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 8, 2020 Share #4 Posted March 8, 2020 Welcome to the other side of the time warp. During the night you probably lost an hour. (You people in Arizona need read no further.) That hour simply doesn't exist if you did it right and turned your clocks back last night before going to bed. Interesting things happened during that non existent time. Your heart beat about 4200 times less, thus extending your life. You had fewer night sweats and bad dreams. Your spouse had fewer chances to roll over and wake you. You might have made it through the night without having to get up and pee. My watch had an epiphany half way down the hall this morning as it suddenly got close enough to my phone to get it's bluetooth update. Too bad my cars are not internet enabled at the clock level. I have only a couple of old mechanical clocks that have to be updated. One of those is my Diamondback Bicycles shop clock in the secret lab. It's one of those that requires me to spin a little dial on the back to move the hands. It takes about 10 minutes to move forward an hour and the mechanism is adjusted to run faster to make up for the adjustment. With frequent adjustments it will be back to keeping proper time within 6 or 7 months. I like this universe better. I wish we could stay here.

JerrySTL ★ Posted March 8, 2020 Share #5 Posted March 8, 2020 I'm staying at a hotel. When I woke the hotel bedside clock said 8AM so I thought that it was really 9AM and got up. But it was 8AM. Either the fancy clock changed the time itself or the maid snuck in during the night to change the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 8, 2020 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2020 My Diamondback clock died when I changed the time. A new battery didn't work. I'll have to take it apart and see what can be fixed. It's a link back to the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted March 8, 2020 Share #8 Posted March 8, 2020 I noticed for a Sunday morning everyone was up earlier than usual. I don’t think anyone got that extra hour of sleep. Church would be interesting today, all those people that show up a half hour late every week will be a half hour early today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slept from midnight to 9 new time so I should theoretically be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
