I woke up at 1 because something from work was disturbing my sleep at 1:30AM...by the time I sorted it out and put my mind at ease is was 3:30. I guess I put in for 2 hours...kidding of course but I don't think my employment agreement covers this.
Not sure about Nurses, but the wife and I both work overnight often. For me my shifts are 24 hours long so when we end up working the extra hour we get some paid overtime, and when we work an hour less we just smile and take the freebie.

My wife and my old job did it even easier, you just work the length of your shift regardless of the what the clock says. So show up at the normal time, go home 10 hours later even if the clock says it's only been 9

Yeah, you wanna complain? I’m in Europe in 2 weeks and get to experience our time change, then have 7 hours of jet lag, then the day after I arrive DST in Europe kicks in and I get to experience theirs too! And then to make it WORSE we go to Portugal and lose an hour and then in 3 weeks back to ‘regular’ Europe and gain an hour…and then the icing on the cake is coming home and having 8 hours difference again! It’s ridiculous!!11!!1

I had to catch a flight at 8, set my alarm and was really having to trust no glitches in my phone changing properly during the night. Having stayed up late with relatives but not late enough to see the change I was a bit nervous.

That's when you do some basic math and also set a timer for however long you're going to sleep for.

Turn back time to rise and shine to a brighter morning. We should be doing this in October.

Wouldn’t even have known the time changed today. Was a nice surprise.

I'll die a couple years earlier if it means more time enjoying the sun.

Had to travel to Ontario this morning for a one-night work trip. Gained one hour, lost two. I’ll take it.

I very much doubt that number is that high.

Was just a CTV poll the other day. I think it was Canadians that want to stop the time change, but not sure if it was specific to sticking with Daylight Savings or Standard time. They also said everything was in place to stop changing as soon as the States committed to stopping.

I remember the time change was shifted to what it is now about 10-15 years ago, when Bush Jr was the president. What's the rationale for that?

This new time change is not standard, as Europe change their clocks a week earlier, which totally messes up my soccer watching schedule.

It had to do with allowing kids to go trick-or-treating in more daylight. I agree that it's silly to be on a different schedule than Europe, though.
