This post is for that ridiculous procedure we still do by changing time for Spring and for Fall, notoriously named Daylight Savings Time and Standard Time changes...
Daylight Savings time is done in the Spring on the Second Sunday in March and Standard Time change is done in the Fall on the First Sunday in November...
The only reason we do this still is for revenue, they know that it messes with peoples internal systems and know that people will make mistakes they normally wouldn't do...
Put it this way, if cars were fully autonomous today, there wouldn't be a need to change time, because it wouldn't matter if people fell asleep behind the wheel or not...
The good news is that 7 states have approved legislation to make daylight saving time permanent, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington...
Also, Alaska, California, Iowa, Massachusetts, Texas, Utah and Vermont have introduced legislation to make changes to how they observe Daylight Savings Time...
New England is proposing a workaround by using a year-round Atlantic Standard Time (AST) a time zone one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time if they succeed will not have to put it to a vote to congress...
Other states like Texas want permanent Standard Time instead of Daylight Savings Time...
Other states Delaware and Oregon for example would require other states to change with them or they won't change...
This is one of those conversations that get caught up in what if's, and the only thing that ever comes out of what if's, is what if...
Look whatever "Time Zone" you want, pick it and stick with it and call it a day already...
Now, how to adjust to the time change...
Your body clock is still on the old time, just because the time is an hour ahead of what it used to be the day before doesn't matter, you need to stay on that time, so go to bed 1 hour later than what the time says it is...
So if the clock says, 10:00, go to bed at 11:00...
Then on Monday go to bed one hour earlier than what the clock says, so if the clock says, 10:00 go to bed at 9:00...
Tuesday night go to bed at your regular time using the new time schedule, so if the clock says 10:00, go to bed at...you guessed it, 10:00...
You'll wake up refreshed and ready to go on Wednesday and the rest of your week will be back to normal...
Now if we don't make time change a thing of the past in the Fall you'll need to reverse these steps...
If the clock says, 10:00 on the first night of the new change you'll go to bed at 9:00...
Monday you'll stay up one hour later, so if the clock says 10:00 you'll go to bed at 11:00...
Tuesday Night go to bed at your regular time using the new time schedule, yep you guessed it, 10:00 is 10:00 and Wednesday you'll wake up refreshed...
Adjusting your sleeping patterns will also help your pets get adjusted to the time change as well, because as we know they go through the same struggles as we do with the time adjustment...
