#daylightsaving
#SuperMoon tonight Friday September 29th when there's a full moon at the same time the Moon is closest to Earth.
Because the Moon doesn't orbit around Earth in a perfect circle, there are times when the Moon is closer to Earth — it's called the #perigee.
Also #daylightsaving - clocks one hour forward - from 2am Sunday October 1st 2023.
Just finished re-setting all the clocks in the house and cars. There's an hour of my life I'll eventually get back! #DaylightSaving
To mark the changing of the clocks in New Zealand tonight, I propose we replace "Spring Forward, Fall Back" with "Spring Steal, Autumn Acquisition."
In Spring the law steals an hour of our sleep; in Autumn we acquire one.

Urban hack for #NZTwits like me who can't be bothered resetting the time on their digital oven clock for #DaylightSaving wait until the summer time is about to hit midday, 12 noon, and switch off your oven at the wall. The moment before it hits midday turn it back on and go straight to clock settings and OK. Done.
#NewZealand
I like to think of #DaylightSaving as a 6 month one hour interest free loan from the sun to the planet and its people. #NZTwits #SpringForward
Quite an in depth dive into Aotearoa/New Zealand's history with daylight saving and what changing it again might entail.
"EXPLAINER: Daylight saving is about to begin. . Keith Lynch and Kate Newton outline the strange origins of shifting the clocks twice annually, and what a much more dramatic change would look like."
I'm really looking forward to daylight savings time again. Yeah, I know, the transition sucks for a few days, but there's more one can do with the day for outdoors activities. And unfortunately our society is not equipped for changing everything to an hour earlier unless there's a daylight saving time change involved.
Just too bad for all those folks who have developed IT systems based on local time, rather than using UTC as a baseline. Suck it up! Tough luck!
Daylight Saving starts in New Zealand on Sunday 24 September. There is a bit of discontent every year. So what do you think?
Please boost for wide coverage.

Does Daylight Saving save (or waste) energy? #DaylightSaving #StandardTime #Energy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVDX8867ytM
Finally we'll be back to real time tomorrow. What a relief. 😊
The kitchen clock has been on real time all summer. It kept me sane!
I bet the person who came with with daylight saving time didn’t have a 2yrs old to put to sleep every night. #daylightsaving #parenting
Daylight Saving is the world's longest-running practical joke.
#BST starts when you search and download yet another copy of the oven manual.
I am so glad we adjusted the clocks to "Summertime" here in Norway, the other day. Because this is such an important issue for us Norwegians.
Picture is this morning.

I mean, if you want to maximise daylight during working hours, you could just do business from 8 to 4 or from 10 to 6 for part of the year, instead of 9 to 5
But no, let's change the actual clock and throw people's sleep cycles* completely out of whack for a month, and let's not bother reckoning up the lost 'productivity' that brings with it, let alone the adverse health effects

If you find the switch to Daylight Saving Time maddening, just imagine if you were in #Lebanon.

The kids were hyped with the longer day today. Absolutely dreading tomorrow morning. Apart from waking up earlier myself tomorrow, I’ll have to drag the childer out of bed an hour earlier for school. #Spring #DaylightSaving #DaylightSavingHell #DaylightSavingTime #ClocksForward #Mastodaoine
Absolutely loving the new evening daylight #ThereISaidIt #DaylightSaving
@Miriamm
I blame the politicians who made it a law instead of just telling this guy to wake up an hour earlier.
#DaylightSaving
Or, hear me out, a 12 day period twice a year when the clock moves every night 5 minutes forward (in spring) or 5 minutes backwards (in autumn), so that you get both DST in summer and standard time in winter, but withouth the "circadian rhythm" complaints in between.
Which one is better:
Fascinating story: Country wakes up in two rival time zones. Sounds like a scenario out of some sci-fi novel
Be careful in October though, because the opposite is true. #summertime #daylightsaving
Benefits of March 's #clockchange sunday: one hour less of hangover. #daylightsaving #summertime
Moving the clocks forward/back twice a year is such a stupid concept. If a job/hobby is dependent on the times it gets light or dark then surely changing the start/end time of just those dependent things is a far simpler and more logical solution! #DaylightSaving
Argghh!!! What madness has happened to time this morning? #BritishSummerTime #DaylightSaving #DarkAges
Standing on the prime meridian at Greenwich, thinking how utterly stupid it is to keep switching between GMT and BST each year.
I thought we were going to get rid of bloody #DaylightSaving? Grr :(
It doesn't matter if it's summer time or standard time, it's still early for a Sunday morning! #IST #SummerTime #DaylightSaving
Daylight saving is nonsense. I feel I found a way for me to opt out at least partly to my own benefit. I will never go back. I recommend everyone to do the same. Perhaps if we all do and perhaps even move our business schedule together with the shift in time we can force change.
And if we can't, at least some of us like me can opt out.
Fuck that shit.
Yes I gradually got up a little later, yes, but I kept being earlier than last year. I established a morning gym habit and I feel this was pretty great for my overall health and wellbeing.
Since in the past week I began to get up 10min earlier every day to keep myself in the same bracket and avoid jetlag next week.
Last October I bought the cheapest available Casio digital watch and made a bold decision: This watch and all other clocks that do not set themselves will stay in CEST and I would call it Egocentric Time. (EGT)
I did so because I decided that I want to opt out of this nonsense. I kept getting up earlier than I used to and tonight the rest of central Europe will return to my personal timezone.
Thanks to #Community I have the perfect commentary on how I feel about #daylightsaving:
Poor sleep may contribute to the rise inflammation (linked to chronic disease) during teens’ transition to young adulthood, especially in earlier years, new evidence shows.
We set the clock on the oven to Beijing time. It's convenient when the kid needs to FaceTime grandparents.
But the best part? No need to adjust for #DaylightSaving
Oh it is glorious that the sun is out at 7pm #daylightsaving
@coffeepine
Definitely not just an excuse to whine.
Maybe it's easy for you? For others it can be literally painful. Definitely tiring. Such a small change but it can make a huge difference.
I get my lost hour back in a couple of weeks and I'm quite happy about it!

Happy National Workplace Napping Day! 😴
Have you managed to get a few 💤 in? Are you starting the week rested, calm and replete with energy?

In the spirit of the day, Skye has decided to trash (or in BunMum’s words, delete😂) Daylight Savings Time. #SkyeSlam :skyeface3: 🗑️

We are all feeling the effects of the time change today here! #DST #daylightsaving #DaylightSavings #DaylightSavingTime #DaylightSavingsTime #SkyeLove #Rabbit #Bunny #MastoBun
7 AM. Still dark 🙁
#Today is probably a fail because the cats woke me an hour early by the clock, which means it was actually TWO hours early. I love being ON Daylight Saving Time, but SWITCHING to Daylight Saving Time is terrible. Same thing used to happen with my kids when they were small. Evidently the universe hates it when I sleep (because the universe revolves around me, obvi 😂).
Daylight Saving time in Summer gives us longer hours of daylight.
Standard Time in winter gives us few to no evening hours of light with which to socialize, exercise, etc.
We came so close last year to not having to "Fall back" to Standard Time this Fall and have today be our last switch, but it failed in the House.
We all want to stop switching the clocks. Would you rather: Keep Daylight Saving Time (summer hours) or Standard Time (winter hours)?
The spring forward clock change is always so hard.
But the frog friends hope you have a good day anyways... and have some flowers for you.

Welcome back, #DaylightSaving time!
NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN
We in the US laugh about folks falling victim to things like banks failing or crypto scams, while we all just literally had an hour of our lives taken from us and we're ok with that... #daylightsaving #morning #losthour
Ah, the twice-a-year two or three week period of weird cross-Atlantic meeting scheduling begins today and ends on March 26th. #endthemadness #daylightsaving
Time is an artificial human construct. Welcome to #DaylightSaving.
Time for the last ride of the day to dreamland with my boys.
Tomorrow will be here early expecting its coffee to be ready.
Goodnight all.

Most of USA and Canada go to "Daylight Savings Time" tonight.
It might have been a good idea in 1918... maybe not so much now.
1918 posters from when it first went into effect in the USA, promoted as tactic to help win World War I.
Get Your Hoe Ready!

"Springing forward into daylight saving time is a step back for health – a neurologist explains the medical evidence, and why this shift is worse than the fall time change"
Still don't accept it as a reason 😤

I can't believe that the miniscule trace of energy _allegedly_ saved by #daylightsaving isn't offset by lost productivity, accidents, etc.
Did someone say “Spring” forward?!

An important reminder for everyone as we go into this weekend: The difference between Daylight Saving and Daylight Savings. #DST #daylightsaving
🕑 Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 5 at 2:00am.
Get ready to reset those appliances, timers, remote controls and anything else with a clock with visual info from your Aira agent. #AiraVI #DaylightSaving Time #Blind #LowVision
Virginia committee approve Senator Richard Stuart’s SB-1017, permanent Daylight Saving. Would put sunrise past 8am for 4 months. Cost lives in 1974. American Medical Association, National Safety Council, National PTA, dozens more urge for permanent Standard Time instead. Please oppose! #VALeg #DaylightSaving #StandardTime
I don't know if I'm feeling the time change more as I get older or what, but I've just been EXHAUSTED the last couple of days. Just staring-off-into-space wiped out. I should probably be taking more naps. #DaylightSaving #MiddleAge #NapLife
Kid L (6yo) woke me up at 2:30am for no discernible reason. Just wanted to snuggle I guess.
Then I couldn't fall asleep so I finished yet another @scalzi book (this time it was Lock In, :chefs-kiss: although I was anticipating a double cross at the end that didn't happen).
Then, just after I finally fell back asleep, Kid A (6yo) woke me up at 5:30am because they were hungry.
Happy US daylight saving day to all who celebrate.
