Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for March 13, 2022

Deep sleep time?

Arlo; didn’t you sleep that extra hr. last fall?

1:42 AM on the East Coast. Eighteen minutes to the disappearing hour.

In a typical gifted stroke JJ captures those wavering moments between ever deepening drowsiness, all the way to drooling slumber and back awake again, only to repeat as necessary. I especially like how the background wall cover also gradually darkens until the lights back on moment.

I wish people who think they are saving daylight would break it out in January and February.

The best one!

In Arizona outside the Navajo Nation the time does not change because unbearable heat after midnight is no fun. However, this morning I found my Verizon phone on DST. Traitor, I say!

I think Janis was trying to say, “You only lost an hour of sleep.”

Spring forward is okay in my book. It means Harvey gets his breakfast at 5:30, not 4:30. I’d just as soon we stop with this nonsense though.

I put my clocks ahead in the late afternoon and just keep busy. By bedtime it seems normal and I go to bed at the new time. No lost sleep.

I fooled them!!! I just stayed in bed and went back to sleep for another hour!!!

I lost an hour of sleep between 3:30 and 4:30 then when I got up at 6:00 I lost another because it was actually 7:00. I’ll need a two-hour nap this afternoon.

I like the artist adding the drool.

I just slept an hour later. I’m retired. It’s Sunday. DST is still dumb.

Wait until you are about ten years older and your bladder ossifies, Arlo. Then that last hour at 2 or 3 will be a nightly occurrence.

I set my bedside clock when i rack out. Last night it was at 10 pm so I changed it to 11 pm. I woke up and it was 8:58 new time. I rolled over and got out. Retired. Don’t really care.

Must have a lot of clocks in the house.

Reminds me of high school.

We celebrate time change! And we don’t hold back, getting out the good plastic plates and cranking the stereo up to eleven. Things get really rolling when the tables get pushed back and we do the Time Warp. Again

He doesn’t work or go to church on Sunday. He has no reason to set his alarm. So WHY would he lose an hour of sleep? He would just wake up after his normal amount of sleep.

I’ve thought for years that the whole world needs to go on Internet Time. Stick with Greenwich as the base, but whatever that time is, that’s the time.

Right now, my clock claims its 11:22 a.m. But on Internet Time, it would be 16:22.

But baby steps – first get rid of this obnoxious DST. Sounds like a sexual disease or a mental condition…

….and I had to read the comics in order to realize the time change… Gettin’ old.

Didn’t lose an hour of sleep. Went to bed at midnight, got up at nine. Change clock to ten. Lost an hour of being up, not sleep.

Oh-dark-hundred.

There must be something wrong with me. I’ve been accomplishing the day’s accomplishments earlier rather than later!

Working Wally World on overnights I loved the Spring swing. One less hour of work

Easily fixed – get up an hour later.

i have often thought if i would run for president…i would run on a platform of…TIME …in the fall keeping the hour ‘falling back’ to remain on Saturday night…it is a peasant gift of an hour on a weekend…for all of us….but…I would DEMAND , as president, that if they continue to take that hour away from us that it would only be allowed to happen on a Tuesday about 2:30 pm ….sticking it to corporate america…and ‘the man’… and giving us normal people one less hour of work ….What do you think….‘’Make America Sleep Again’’ we can make the hats in turquoise color … we could win…..!

I wonder, do the people that hate the DST switch never travel east or west? OMG! We lost an hour on the trip here (grumble grumble).

My wife and I, during the plague, decided to stop observing daylight savings time. We have not changed the clocks for the last two years. I think we all should stop changing our clocks. The people that we have working in our company, love that we don’t do daylight savings time.

When husband was working full time, I did not switch over. I just went to bed and work up an hour later so I was still on regular time – didn’t matter unless someplace to go that I had to be at a fixed time and chances are that was earlier than normally woke up anyway. I am self-employed so make my own hours.

But now he is home all the time (even before pandemic as he quit his job several years ago) and I have to deal with him wanting to do everything at same time per clock time.
