It was 1AM twice tonight and I felt like a cool kid for being awake through the same exact hour two times in a row.

Korea doesn't have daylight savings, I don't think. Or at least if it does, our time changed a while back. Didn't Bush change the US DLS so it would last longer?

Yup. Now it's all the way to ... November. Hey! Extra hour of sleep last night! ;-)

Yes, but it was just push to the first Sunday of November now. Next year it will be November 7 for the time change and then it will count down back to November 1 all over again.

I think they should just change it one time to 30 minutes and be done with it or not change it at all.

I set my clocks back, but my husband didn't know so he set them back another hour too. It was quite confusing. Stupid time change! At least we gained an extra hour, so I went to bed at 1 AM instead of 2. XD

Yep! Did it just last night!

Being a poor, sleep-deprived college student, I appreciate when Day-light saving times end so I can get that extra hour of sleep.

However, how will ADXC react when it starts back up again? Who knows? Find out next time on M-A-C-U!

I already set my clocks an hour early last night

I would support either of these. It would be nice if we could experience more fully the changing of the seasons.

What about them. The US started using daylight saving times for the war.

Wikipedia wrote:During World War I, in an effort to conserve fuel, Germany began observing DST on May 1, 1916. As the war progressed, the rest of Europe adopted DST. The plan was not formally adopted in the United States until 1918. "An Act to preserve daylight and provide standard time for the United States" was enacted on March 19, 1918 (40 Stat 450). It established both standard time zones and set summer DST to begin on March 31, 1918. The idea was unpopular, however, and Congress abolished DST after the war, overriding President Woodrow Wilson's veto. DST became a local option and was observed in some states until World War II, when President Franklin Roosevelt instituted year-round DST, called "War Time," on February 9, 1942. It lasted until the last Sunday in September 1945. The next year, many states and localities adopted summer DST.



This why, I feel they should just change it to 30 mins and be done with it.

I woke up Sunday and was glad to remember I had another hour to sleep, so I went back to sleep.

An hour and a half later, I woke up and was running late in getting ready for church...XD /extrahourfail
