The Clock Change: A Thread
The Clock Change: A Thread
Had an absolutely awful night. Our 19 month old has still never slept through, and he's got a cold...and the clocks have gone back.
05:10. That's when he decided the day had begun. It's going to be a loooooooooong day.
What about you?

I'm not usually much of a planner, but I think I must take my kiddo's sleep schedule more seriously than I even take my investment portfolio. So, for the last month I've been gradually moving bedtime back by an hour. This morning, no problem.
I just wish someone would take my investments this seriously.
-
That is excellent planning! I must remember to do that next year (but I suspect the clock change will just sneak up on me again)

Awake at 5am but held firm at keeping the lights off and just trying to cwtch until close to 6 when we got up properly.
So far spent the day outside in the sun playing with high energy activities and have managed to time nap time perfectly so fingers crossed that will all help with bed time later tonight.
That all being said… please can we all just scrap the bloody clock changes and stick with BST all year?
-
Fuck changing the clocks. Let's all just pick a time and stick to it forever
-
I pick 10:45

I mean, it's a pittance of a story compared to yours. I'm at work and set an alarm on the TV in the hotel room. Unfortunately, that must update the time while it's on and recieving the time signal. So basically, it went off an hour early. 😐
-
Better than it going off an hour late!
Gotta ask though: why are you using the hotel TV alarm clock? didn’t society all agree that our phones are now our alarm clocks?
-
I'm terrible at getting up, there are four alarms on my phone as well. I like the television to come on and wake me slowly before the first mobile alarm goes off.

Probably not a comforting thought for you: They tend to keep doing that later, too.

Same with ours. Tried to explain British Summer Time to her but it fell on deaf ears.
-
Lol my one year old has decided his morning starts at 5am-530 for the past 4 months. We haven't even switched clocks yet
-
I had no idea other countries did time change…thought it was something stupid Americans invented because of farming or whatever…and doesn’t make any sense.
Do many other counties do it? Most or just a few?
-
There's a great picture here, it shows all the countries and if they use it or have used it.: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time#/media/File%3ADST_Countries_Map.png

So mainly a white people thing. Suspicion confirmed just didn’t know it included Canada and uk 😂
