I hear a big debate about the time change every year. I think a lot of it is psychological. The more clocks you own that you have to manually change the more you hate it. If you only owned clocks that auto adjusted you could easily forget and never notice that it happened. I have plenty of night where I lose much more than an hour of sleep with no ill effects.

My Mom bought a clock that sets itself for the time changes. There’s a switch on the back that corresponds to either the old dates, or the current ones. For spring, it just spins around once and even moves ahead for the time it took to reset. Fall-time, it spins forward, and forward, and forward until it get to the right time, plus however long it took to reset. The rest of the clocks and watches I set myself.
That is one of the few good things about Phoenix (besides mild winters) no daylight savings time. You do have to remember though that the time difference changes sliding from pacific to mountain time and back
The time change really messed me up. i live in iowa but i attend and online school based in Arizona, which doesn’t observe daylight savings time. My time changed, the school’s didn’t. I freaked out about this until i realized it meant i get an extra hour to do my homework. My father tells me this is because Arizona wasn’t a state yet when this was enforced in america…i haven’t done my own research yet, so i’m not sure if that’s true.
almost as funny as the time travel machine in Napolean Dynamite
The panel on his chest is making a sad face :[
You yourself may not notice, but traffic accidents rise the monday after ‘losing’ an hour in the spring, and drop the monday after ‘gaining’ an hour in the fall.
