Page 3 | Who is being weird about clocks changing here?

I think it for the first day to factor in the animals. Then tomorrow it will be like it hasn't happened. Your h is silly. Maybe he thinks it's cute.

I don't say it outloud but I think it as I have routines and get very out of sorts

You'd hate me, I don't change my watch at all, so half the year it's right. Before I married my dh, the clock on the lounge was on BST and the kitchen one was on summer time. It used to confuse people who didn't know I didn't change those clocks.
I grew up in a country that didn't change the clocks, clinging to my roots here!

I’ve done this too. So I was always doing mental maths. Keeps your brain agile 😂

We do this, we have pets though and they don't know the clocks have changed.
Growing up we had to adjust pet schedules by 5-10 minutes a day over a week or two, for particularly sensitive pets, and the habit has just stuck.
We also do it to keep reminding ourselves that it's fine that we're not hungry at our usual dinner time, as our body clocks think it's an hour earlier than it is.

I do it for a day or two as I adjust. Then it's forgotten.

blackrabbitwhiterabbit · 31/03/2024 21:45

I'm also guilty of this.

I put my analogue clocks forward last night at about 6pm and have not thought about it since!

This. I don't notice any change except drawing the curtains an hour later than yesterday, and it bewilders me that it causes such a palaver in some people's lives.

To answer your question, OP: your DH is. Two weeks? Two weeks?

Oh god, dh does this!
even worse, today we’ve had lots of references to the puppy - ‘it’s 6pm but the dog thinks it’s only 5pm’ 🤦‍♀️

I’ve been doing that all day but with the cat😳🤣

The little fucker woke us earlier than usual for breakfast which compounded the effect of the hour change. She is now sleeping peacefully by my feet!

I am guilty of this OP but normally only for a day, I forget once I am back at work.

Floralnomad · 31/03/2024 21:27

I’ve done it once today and that was when I was explaining to the dog about dinner times .

Why are you desperate for bed at 8pm? That was only 7pm yesterday. Do you go to bed at 7pm?

Show quote history

That’s the other end of the year. Which is why I’m still up at gone 9pm!

I’ll struggle in the morning. We had dinner late (because no one was hungry) so I took my meds late so now I’ll wake up late- and the clock will claim it’s even later. So Tuesday will be a struggle to be on time for work. I’ll still be dopey.

QueenOfTheEntireFuckingUniverse · 31/03/2024 21:23

I was quite pleased when I woke up at 8.15 thinking I'd managed an extra hour of sleep. Except I hadn't really. Oh well.

SnaccidentsHappen · 31/03/2024 21:23

Are you married to my husband, it infuriates me. Just say the actual time!!

UncleHerbie · 31/03/2024 21:22

TimeToTurnItAround · 31/03/2024 20:19

DH does this thing after the clocks change where he says "5pm but really 6pm" or whatever the old time is....for about 2 weeks

He says we are all on old time for about 2 weeks and that it takes everyone that time to readjust and he is just reminding me of the "real" time for the adjustment period.

I think this is super weird. He thinks I'm being mad by saying you feel a bit more tired for one day and that is about it.

Thoughts?

I detest the spring forward clock change passionately but I get over it after two days. I might in my head think “it’s really 0700” when it’s 0800 once or thrice but crucially, I do not say it out loud. Your husband is being a sap 😂

Some of these replies are crazy to me. If we have roast dinner at 4pm one weekend I don't get reallt hungry if its more like 5pm the following weekend. If I go to bed at 11 instead of 10 I might feel a little more tired in the morning but it's soon shaken off. Are people affected by clocks changing by one hour as they do the same thing the same time every day?? I don't understand it at all. I wake up and that is the time. If no one told me I wouldn't know. DH thinks this makes me some sort of pyscho.

Yes, we do. We are quite clock bound. We eat our meals the same time every day. I go to bed at 9pm. Wake up around 6 if it’s dark, around 5 if it’s light.

The dog does, the babies did. DH always used public transport so left at the same time every and returned at the same time.

I can’t sleep in for love nor money. My babies didn’t either- woke with the light which is hell on earth in summer.

Grendell · 31/03/2024 21:19

I do this in my head until about Tuesday.

I'm being light hearted BTW. I don't really mind. I just find it baffling.

Lots of people do that.

AhBiscuits · 31/03/2024 21:14

I think it's weird too. Straight onto new time and business as usual here.

We spend quite a long time saying ’but it’s really…’
It just helps you understand why you’re so very desperate for bed at 8pm. Dinner was late today because no one was hungry. But of course it was ‘really’ the usual time.

HesterPrincess · 31/03/2024 21:05

I've told DH 350 times today that he's not a fucking time traveller and it's the time it says on his phone ffs. Every time the clocks go back or forward, we have this debate about the "real time".

BendingSpoons · 31/03/2024 21:01

The day of the clock change I do this but then move on. I read that with jet lag it can take a day per hour time difference to adjust. So 2 weeks to adjust to an hour change seems a long time to me!

fancyfrogs · 31/03/2024 20:59

I do for the first couple of days but only in the context of 'oh it's so light/dark outside, suppose it's like X o clock isn't it' until I get used to it.
