I have refused the last two years to participate in this psyop. The first year, I messed up once, going out to meet someone a whole hour early. Last year I messed up once when I forgot to calculate for out there time, as I call it, and made someone furious at me, which I thought was funny. The other two times I messed up were when I again went somewhere a whole hour early. Yes, I have to remind myself of the difference regularly, but I figure it's good for my brain. Even though I am officially retired, I feel busier than ever since I get to do what I want almost all the time, and there is a lot I want to do -- on my own schedule. And when I look at where the sun is, I want it right overhead at noon. The point is, I choose not to go along with the psyop. You can too, maybe...
Oh yeah, and the real reason I did this, and will again this year, is that I am not interested in messing with my circadian rhythm, and feeling like I am an hour late for six months. I call it real time or sun time...
I have "refused" for over 30 years - it has been "liberating" for all that time. I have gotten to referring to my own time zones "standard time" (daylight savings) and "non-standard time" (standard). One could elect either to standardize on; not clear which which you have chosen. Mine is daylight saving (so I am standardized with others during "Daylight Savings Time") There certainly are sleep benefits; and rather less tangible: you connect to the sun and earth and seasons in a different way just by not distorting your sense of the difference between the length of the day in June vs December - where I am, the change of the time of sunset from June to December is about 3.5 not 4.5 hours. I always am a little sad in March to give up "my" time!
We just get up when we want and go to sleep when we want, no matter what the clock says. We both love mornings right after the sunrise or occasionally before.
I totally agree. I hate daylight savings time! Now that I'm retired with a flexible part time job I'm determined to continue going with my natural circadian rhythm, which is better aligned with standard time. I'll just be an hour later by the clock. And I don't change the car clock either, too complicated.
Same here. Retirement allows us to create our own schedule. I change my clocks, but I sleep late every day (regardless of which "time" we are in) to make up for all the sleep deprivation from years of waking up super early to get the kids up, ready for school, make breakfast and lunch, and then head out to my slave job, come home to make dinner, train the kids to help with dinner clean-up and oversee their homework, correct behavior problems, and get the kids ready for bed in time for them get 8 hours of sleep. Then start all over again. I'm exhausted, and my time is finally MY OWN. I stick with my circadian rhythm regardless.
I don’t know too many people who do actual (manual) work that this affects. Most people stay up a few hours later on the weekend anyway, some a lot of extra hours on the weekend. I doubt this hour change affects them like it does those who sit in a chair for a living. It’s hard to get physically tired sitting down.
For my family, we set the clock ahead an hour after dinner, then get in bed at bedtime. Since we work hard and do physical things on the weekend, we usually fall right to sleep. In the morning, we get and go do what we would normally do on Sunday. Come Monday morning, everyone is up on time and off to work. Seems like one more excuse to me. But, I’m sure studies show that it affects someone.
“The scientific evidence points to acute increases in adverse health consequences from changing the clocks, including in heart attack and stroke ,” says sleep expert Adam Spira, PhD, MA, a professor in Mental Health. Many studies point to many more strokes and heart attacks right after the Spring change.
I hate DST. My body and soul feel the disruption, as we are biological creatures subtley tuned to the rhythms of earth, sun and moon. Just as the blessed mornings (my favourite time of day) are getting lighter earlier, we're jerked forward as if on a leash and mornings are dark again, while the buds are getting ready to burst open. All this, and not to mention it serves absolutely no good purpose.
Like I said, I’m sure there are studies that show otherwise. I’d like to know how many of those people had GED, BS, BA, MS, MBA, PhD, or carry a union card.
It's all so true...excellent stack...and there is little doubt that it is another long-running smack down disruptive Op. And as if our animals aren't dealing with enough - their food is poisoned too, the chems and frequencies...ugh. We eat the trauma for breakfast, but they count on us to keep them safe. Love the shirt and the perfectly snarky memes...thx.
&Infuriating! Over past few years there were announcements how they will discontinue this nefarious practice!
There was even one april fools joke article about it last year! It looked like it is from a government agency.
And this bothers me because of all the people who suffer heart and other health issues.
I trained myself a long time ago to not be focused on using a watch to know the time of day. It works,I can even set a mental alarm clock and I wake up 5 minutes early.
Haha, I have 2 clocks in my house. One is set to New York time & One to Arizona Time ...I live in the confused state of Wisconsin. If I ever need to leave the state of confusion...I do laptop time :)
to my surprise my dog and cats had the time right from the first day. Then it occurred to me, they connect the arrival of the school bus next door to time to eat! No fooling these furry eaters. Checked where the law is obviously one part of govt has already voted 100 % to stop the jump, but the other (I think the representatives) did not think it important enough to look at. Who are these people representing anyway???

I actually do the same. Hubs and I are retired so we live by our own clock. Liberating.

I can't deal with the car clock either! And I'm also retired so....I live by my own indoor clock, which I refuse to change.

This is the story of my life.
All good until your grown child and grandchild move back home and it becomes groundhog day again. Such is life 😢

Thank you! It's one of my more popular shirts. ❤️
Alright. I’ll buy one. And wear it in the gym just to see who bites!!!
Thank you! Always good to start conversations with strangers.
Important topic indeed!

Themselves and their minders, errr, paymasters. Not us, for sure!
