Daylight Savings Time 2013

[Jazzy]

It's almost time to set your clocks forward an hour in accordance with daylight saving time 2013 to better take advantage of sunny hours during the coming warm months.



Daylight saving time, or DST, demands that most Americans and Canadians set their clocks forward one hour on March 10, as noted by timeanddate.com. At 2 a.m. on that date, simply turn your clock's hour hand -- or adjust your digital display -- so that it instead reads 3 a.m.





EU Daylight Saving Time

March 31 for everyone in Europe.

Spring's coming!

so if I have this correctly, for a few weeks there will be one less hour between Europe and N America. Right?

Guess so. Why?

 

[Jazzy]

I dread the time change. It takes me at least a week to get accustomed to it. One less hour sleep unless I go to bed one hour earlier. That ain't happening!

Plus all the clocks I have to reset. How many do I have? Well, here you go:



Kitchen: Coffee pot, oven and microwave



Living room: Grandfather clock and a stereo



Bedroom: Alarm clock and backup alarm clock



Office: Wall clock



Mudroom: Wall clock



Vehicles: Truck and car clocks



Why the hell do I need so many clocks?

 

[Evil Eye]

I'm gonna guess and say it'll take me 2-3 days to get used to the change.

Why the hell do I need so many clocks?

I don't think you need that many

 

[Jazzy]

I don't think you need that many

Maybe I don't but I like them all!

 

[Evil Eye]

Maybe I don't but I like them all!

Then you really have no one to blame but yourself

 

[Jazzy]

I forgot one more. My wristwatch!

 

[Evil Eye]

Probably the most important one to change!

 

[Jazzy]

@EE: How many clocks do you have in your house?

 

[Evil Eye]

Hmm... counting only the clocks that actually get used, around eight.

I'll change my wristwatch and leave it at that. The only other clocks I use should update themselves.

 

[Jazzy]

The only other clocks I use should update themselves.

Would be great if all clocks did that!

 

[Evil Eye]

Would be great if all clocks did that!

Then you should really get some clocks that do that

Daylight savings times didnt effect me this year. Sometimes losing an hour really messes with my sleep and my head. lol

 

[Evil Eye]

Why didn't it affect you?

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

I suppose because it was the weekend and I could sleep as long as I wanted anyway. Had nothing to do that day.

 

[seasidemike]

yes.. clocks changes Sat night, I can already see the difference in the brighter evening

 

[Evil Eye]

It is indeed quite a bit brighter.
