Oops, gain an hour's sleep. That's unless, of course, you stay up an hour later to make up for it.

when you turn the clocks BACK you GAIN an hour's sleep. And then you get a little daylight extra in the morning for a little while. 'course it gets dark in the afternoon real fast.

bbc - I know what you mean....it's drive to work in the dark and drive home in the dark for me. I really would prefer to hibernate....the only time I see daylight is the weekends.

MM--I sympathize. At least, w/ school hours, I usually only have darkness on one of the drives. And the scenery is beautiful. I work near where Sandy & Caroline live, at the intersection of NY, CT, & MA. I do hate the time change coming just before Halloween; it's always so dark (I s'pose lots of folks would like that, huh?)!

I'm on Mudcat-3, that is to say, PDT. Until Sunday, and then I'm on PST. I thought Alaska, or parts of it didn't do the Daylight savings thing.
Bugsy told us he was on at 6 p.m. when it was 6 a.m. at the Cat. But he neglected to tell us what day it was. How far off MMT (Mudcat Mean Time) does that make him?

Well wher I am it's 2.35 in the morning, and I'm off to bed. Where Mudcat Central is it's 9.36 in the evening. So I can work out the difference. But what happens this weekend when the clocks go back (or is it forward? Either way it's a bloody silly idea)

How long before we just have one global time zone, and adjust our bedtimes to suit ourselves? I think I might start thinking in terms of Mudcat time from now on.

According to my Dilbert Calendar, Oct 31st: DST begins in Australia, ends in Canada & USA except Arizona, Hawaii and Indiana and BST ends (Europe- though I'm sure the Greeks change in early Oct).

As daylight savings time has just ended in the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, I can't help but post this to see what time Mudcat thinks it is!

Okay, another try--it's 2:10 a.m. EST (3:10 a.m.EDT)--and mudcat say it's (see time above)

...and in good old NZ (the first country to see the millenium sunrise), it is 9.17 pm on Sunday night. We've always been ahead of the times! Enjoy the last day of your weekend folks. Good night.

Today is Sunday 31.10.99 and it is now 15.22 Cleckheaton time and what time it is anywhere else I haven't got a clue. What ever time it is,it is mudcat time when I switch on the computer. I know, not much help to anyone trying to work out time zones to the micro-second or lat and lontidude down to the n'th degree. By the way, How long does it take for a response like this to get posted in real time? Must be pretty quick. Hi patrish, since it will have to be Monday when you log on at work, Bill says you know me! But, I am not aware that I know you. So see you at the Jug one night and find out! Not likely this Wednesday!( I've got parents evening at school till 20.40 ish) Though if I am quick, you nevr know. Happy haunting Folks!!!!!!!!!

Charlie, I'm really disappointed in you. Where's your dedication to scientific principle? If you'd posted every hour on the hour thru the night, we'd KNOW when the clock changed. I think it's accurate now. Let's see. My clock says 1:24 and +3 for MMT gives me 4:24 if the Mudcat clock has changed.
Blessings,
Barbara

My dedication to scientific principle crashed up against my great need to sleep. Sorry. But I feel much more rested now. I have this theory that the human body needs 56 hours of sleep a week--4 hours a night and the rest on weekends.

I started this thread out of curiosity. But I thought you would have a laugh when I tell you what I did this weekend. The clock was supposed to go 1 hour back and I put it forward 1 hour...... I felt distinctly out of sinc with the rest of the world. Patrish - ahead of her time.

I'll tell you what I did once. At a school I taught in I knew that all the clocks had been put right by the caretaker. I went and told the school secretary that none of the clocks were right so she readjusted hers and rang the bell for morning break an hour earlier- It didn't half cause chaos!! The kids thought it was great!! Eric

G'day,
11:08 am in Sydney, 2/11/99.

Last week we were 14 hours ahead of Mudcat, this week we're 16 hours. Lost an hour's sleep Sunday when we put the clocks an hour forward.

Cheers,
Alan
