    Personally, I’m of the opinion that we should just set all the clocks to UTC and stop trying to coordinate wall clock time and solar time, since walll clock time is arbitrary anyway.

    Ha, I’ve been proactively waking up an hour early all week the last two weeks so I’ll be ready for this. Everyone else will be groggy, and I’ll be king of the morning!

      On DST, it’s well agreed with my job that I come in an hour later (and end an hour later as well).

      I change my clock, but I also change my alarm so I end up waking up at the same UTC time.

      It’s easier to stay up late in the summer if I start work an hour later as well!

        That’s nice that your work is done with that. My boss is kind of a stickler, so early is fine, late isn’t. So I’ve just shifted to early and tomorrow I’ll be on time.

    I am retired. Until I saw this post I had no idea that there was a time change. I sleep when I’m tired, eat when I’m hungry and could not tell you what month it is.
