A quick reminder, clocks go back an hour tonight, at 2am (for those in North America and England, not sure about the rest of the world) I just thought I'd mention it, because I wouldn't have remembered if someone didn't tell me. :)

Ha! Jokes on you. Here in Hawaii THERE IS NO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME!!! I laugh at all you lowly mortals who must change their clocks backwards and endure a 25 hour long day.

Haha, yeah, this thread is basically for all the people who still have analog/old digital clocks that don't switch themselves. Just about 80% of my clocks here at home do it automatically. ;)

We started daylight savings time a day early. The power went out about 1:30 am this morning and when I woke about 5:30 I looked at my watch and thought it said 4:30, so that is how I set the alarm clock. Needless to say, we were about 45 minutes late where we were going this morning.

Daylight savings sucks. I lost an hour of sleep thanks to it. Down with daylight savings! :D

None of my clocks set themselves back (except my PC)
It's all manual. Especially the cuckoo clock, and the Grandfather. Those are my favorites, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Nothing beats out good old pendulum clocks. Nuts to your digital bullshit--what if the power goes out or there's a power surge and they all get blown. Who'll be there with the time? You, with your watch. Damn. I thought that was going to be an intelligent statement. Oh well. I'll take my cuckoo colck before I take the annoying buzzing the alarm clocks make.
These days must drive a watchmaker nuts.

Here in Adelaide, South Australia, we've just set our clock forward by an hour last night. (BTW, didn't realise there are so many forum mates from Adelaide. :))

You won't lose sleep if you plan ahead and set your clock forward right after dinner, then go to sleep at your normal hours according to the new time.

But me and my sweetheart are now 2.5 hours apart. :cry:

"Well, here it is 12:09AM and the Daylight Savings time watch continues into the night. Some people are still around, braving the cold to see the time when the clocks reverse their course and rotate backwards for one hour. It's a nationwide phenomenom that happens semi-annually that sweeps most of our country into chaos. Now, only a little under two hours left to go."

actually the human body has a biological clock that is set to a 25 hour day naturally when there is no influence of light. damn earth, screwing over our bodys.

Erm... it's a 25 hour day of rest? Wouldn't you be the sad one of not getting an extra hour of rest or something?

That's not entirely true. When I live in South Bend, IN for year and
half everyone told me it's because the cows didn't like when their
feeding time changed and in turn it gave the farmers bad milk from
the cows (and that's why they're called Hoosiers. WTF?). Also the
majority of AZ doesn't change it's clocks for some reason. I've lived
here close to 15 years and don't know why. It's just some reservation
that changes.

They made DST to save 1 percent of power used by people when theyre awake.

Today, it still dosent work.

You're a moron, you really are. DST exists to give farmers the same amount of time to do their farming as they get in winter.
