Otherwise, you&#8217;ll sleep the same number of hours but the time on the clock will be different, that&#8217;s all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want to hear this. For some reason, the fact that they turned the clock <em>back<\/em> one hour when they went to bed has totally slipped or befuddled their minds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, when I wake up at ten tomorrow morning it will really be eleven!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>And that&#8217;s where logic has somehow jumped the rails and turned over in a ditch.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s ridiculous business about how the time change is hazardous to our health. More car accidents, they claim. For some reason, we\u2019re more likely to have a heart attack. Because of a one-hour clock change? Puh-leeze! It\u2019s no different than if I fly from Dallas to Denver. My phone will adjust the time and I\u2019ll never notice.<\/p>\n<p>My late, beloved Grandma Webster used to put us through our paces on this when we were kids. For days after a time change, she would say, &#8220;It&#8217;s really nine o&#8217;clock. Time for you kids to get in bed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, Grandma, it really is EIGHT o&#8217;clock!&#8221; we&#8217;d explain.\u00a0&#8220;Look, it says so right on the clock!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She was undaunted because we were just dumb kids and she was in charge. And, so, we&#8217;d have to go to bed an hour early because the world had recently switched to Standard Time. Nevertheless, six months later we&#8217;d go through the same routine with her in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are you kids up so early? It&#8217;s really only six in the morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grandma, no. It&#8217;s SEVEN! See? The clock says so!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After a while, she&#8217;d get her circadian clock in tune with the one on the stove. But it was a struggle to get her there.<\/p>\n<p>And six months later, we&#8217;d do it all over again.<\/p>\n<p>But one year my uncles (3 and 4 years older than me) got her back. Grandma fell asleep in front of the TV around 7:00 p.m. The boys changed the clock to read 1:00 a.m. We all got our pajamas on and climbed into bed while one of the brothers changed the TV to a non-working channel full of static and woke her up. She thought it was six hours later than it was, got up out of her chair, turned off the lights and the TV, and went to bed.<\/p>\n<p>If I&#8217;m lyin&#8217; I&#8217;m dyin&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend is the end of Daylight Saving Time.\u00a0 In case you didn\u2019t get the message it&#8217;s &#8220;saving,&#8221; not &#8220;savings&#8221; with an &#8220;s&#8221; at the end.
