Daylight Saving Time

[BugI02]

The body adapts to the new cycle easily, this is called entrainment.
Kinda like the triviality of one hour of jet-lag.

Actually, if you research it your circadian rhythm does not adapt, it is fixed according to periods of light and darkness. It's only you acclimate to the new schedule just like your dog does

 

[BugI02]

Great, lets mandate the socialists work schedules too.

You mean like the people who want to mandate pointless clock changes because sundown at 2115 is too early for them

Time changes are for working folks to have some life after work, the elites have no need for this…

Yeah, the light/dark changes are probably the strongest influence. The body adapts easily to changes, whether it is the gradual seasonal changes or the more rapid changes of moving to a different longitude. They have also put volunteers in living quarters in caves where the time was hidden from them(no clocks) and found they settled into their own sleep/activity rhythm, commonly longer than 24 hours, like 25 or 26 hours. They also monitored various biological markers that vary with the cycle. When done these people adapted back to the "real" light/dark cycles easily.

Another month or three weeks to go.

Yes sir, time to shift that daylight relative to the typical workday…

The Indiana Time Zone debacle has been a beast born in the imaginations of those very elites ! The desire to be on the same time as St Louis has been heralded by those wanting perceived advantages in the marketplace for goods and services. Follow the money.

This makes no sense to me. Who is it that wants to be on the same time as St Louis? If you said NY I could buy that.

Still too soon for me to start complaining yet. I don't want to peak too early. Although I won't be complaining so much as being glad for DST to be ending.

 

[nonobaddog]

I just love it when it is dark all the time - don't matter to me what the clock says.

I’m just glad it’s not light out at 9:30 anymore!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

That doesn't bother me so much, but I hate that it's still dark now until almost 7:30 a.m.. And dang it, I said I wasn't going to get into this yet!

That doesn’t bother me as much as it never gets above 45F and the wind howling all day long. Yuck.

Yeah, I hear that! I had to move back inside today to work, and wont be back out on the deck until Thursday. Not ready to move the tv back inside yet, but it's coming.

45 and some sun is tolerable but that wind…. Makes me glad I don’t have to work outside all day.

We have two buildings at work, right next to each other. About 11:00 this morning I needed to haul some stuff over to the other building with the forklift, and just outside the big overhead door wasn’t too bad, sun felt good, so I decided to make the trip without putting on my long sleeve carhartt shirt.

Huge mistake! Once I got to the end of the building and got into the howling wind, it was terrible!

I’m usually in bed by 8:30-9:00, and I had neighbors that seemed to enjoy starting their lawn mowing around that time.

We have a similar situation at our plant. The wind tunnel effect is a thing.

 

[Indyhd]

Yeah, the 43 and howling wind was a bit much for mid October today.
