IRL - Today is daylight savings in America! (1 Viewer)

[Redmonkey]

Under the conditions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. On those days, clocks either shift forward or backward one hour. When not in daylight saving time, the time is known as standard time.

So, this being the first Sunday in November we "fall back" at 2 am local time and get an extra hour of sleep.

Unless you're like me and in Arizona where we just "Mañana" everyone.

I wish they'd abolish standard time. Switching times back and forth is annoying but ultimately not a big deal.

Losing an hour of daylight in the evening though, really sucks.

100% agree. In fact, it was voted on in CA and yah well ,nope!



Not trying to derail this to a policital topic, so please don't go there. It was merely to show at least 60% of voters in CA agreed to stop the change.

Yes, the average dude definitely understands most of the the factors at play here, researches it heavily, forms an opinion grounded in said research, and votes accordingly.
They definitely don't say "ug, but ma daylight" like the government is stealing hours the sun is out or something.

Eliminating DST (not keeping it permanent) seems to make more sense to me.

I used to love the Fall back day for that extra hour of sleep. Now...it means my little one wakes up an hour earlier

I literally thought that was last week. You know you're supposed to remind me about these things.

Worked late last night, slept on the couch to not wake up the wife. My MIL had the kids so wife got to sleep in today. She came downstairs at 630 which woke me up. I asked why didn't sleep in without kids to wake her?

She said she did, it's what would be 730.

Normally I'm aware of the time change and I'm the one reminding people.... Not this year!

Yah, woke up at 5:30 am and got to my computer and it said 4:30 am. Chalked it up to not seeing the clock correctly from morning vision. About 11:00 am my wife asked me to set the clocks back an hour. Oh, okay. That makes sense. lol

And its throwing my eating routine off just slightly. Gonna have to eat dinner "earlier" then normal and over the next week or two, walk myself back across that hour we got back *grins*. I still have to fix the 3 clocks we have in the house. Because it keeps throwing me off.
