what will you do ...

[saintbrat]

to accomodate your one less hour of sleep this weekend?

day light savings begins in
ACT • New South Wales • South Australia • Victoria • Tasmania

Begins 2 am EST Sunday 7 Oct 2012
Ends 2 am EST Sunday 7 April 2013


Begins = set your clocks forward 1 hour. Ends = set your clocks back 1 hour.

NOTE: Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia do not participate in Daylight Saving

[Sainternist]

Not do what Kramer did

[saintbrat]

BTW you will need to change your profile time unless you wish to be out of sync for 6 months

I'm on nightshift on Saturday night so we get out of one hour work

[GRAMophone]

Delicious - much better than being on nightshift at the other end of daylight savings!

My plan is to set all the alarms for 1.55am on Sunday. Then I'll get up and change al;l the clocks !!

shame the crickets on tonight and not tomorrow then-- you could watch the Aussies .

[stevie]

Ah, the joys of living where we don't have this 'artificial' time change

[saintbrat]

jet lag anyone?

maybe too late to begin these precautions

Now while we can't avoid the time change, we can out-smart it. Here are ten tips to get you through those first few days of daylight saving tiredness:

1. Go to bed 15 -20 minutes earlier for a few days before putting clocks forward
2. Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier on Saturday and Sunday in preparation for the early start on Monday
3. Make the bedroom as bright as possible when you first wake up in the morning
4. Eat a good breakfast
5. Go outside in the sunlight in the early mornings
6. Exercise outside in the mornings over the weekend
7. Try to get between seven to nine hours sleep each night
8. Don't exercise just before going to bed
9. Don't drink coffee or other caffeine drinks in the evening
10. Don't go to bed hungry or too full

Ive got an idea. Wake up an hour later.

Who cares about losing 1 hours sleep..we have been doing this daylight saving thing for so long it shouldn't be an issue...

[Enrico_Misso]

That's nothing compared to the sleep I lost when we were playing finals!

[bigred]

Take down the curtains because I don't want them to fade.

[Dr Spaceman]

Why do we have to lose any sleep?

Who says it has to be at 2am on Sunday?

I told my boss at 4pm today that I was putting my watch forward an hour to 5pm; then grabbed my bag, wished her a good weekend and headed for the lifts

[matrix]

did the same thing
left at 11pm instead of midnight
