The clock is going back 1 hour @ that time...to readjust with the universe's rotational force of gravity.
* Quick off topic question (quiz): How many women walked on the moon's surface? ...And don't look. :b

Gosh Amir I hadn't realised that. My sympathies.
I would hate that. I remember living in Glasgow many years ago when we had a double summertime experiment and it didn't really get light until nearly 10am in the winter.
It sure gave you the blues.

I tell you, it was suffering when we moved to here from California. Over time we have gotten used to it but we still celebrate the day in December when day and night become equal and hence marks the end of long dark nights.
Of course we enjoy the opposite in summer when at 10:00pm, it could still be light

Happily we fare a lot better here in SE England and we are enjoying a lovely mild autumn this year with beautiful autumn leaf colour and the forecast of sunshine and 60F this weekend which certainly shortens the winter,
Amir, a couple of years ago I noticed a lack of energy during the short/shorter days of autumn and winter and realised I had experienced the same in previous years. I concluded I was probably suffering from a relatively mild version of Seasonal Affective Disorder and bought a SAD light panel. It did make a difference, Not had to use it so far this year but expect to start using it as the days shorten.

Hi Barry. Knowing that it gets dark here in winter, our homes are very bright with a lot of light. For sure if we don't turn them on almost 24 hours a day it can get to you. I have never tried the lights though. I will look into getting one.
It has been 62 degrees here too and pretty mild and sunny today. The leaves are turning but not the beautiful change we often get. Still, it is nice to have them.
I spent summers back in 1970s in Brighton Beach. Have fond memories of my younger years there, going to the beach, playing the penny arcades and having fish and chips in newspaper.

.Hi Amir.
Yes Brighton was always my favourite Conference town.
Great fish and chips, but don't come in newspaper these days, and a good selection of restaurants and pubs. Happy memories of The Fiddlers Elbow.
Still a lively place. Elected our only Green MP and council. Very diverse and tolerant these days.

I dislike Winter to start with, plus I have S.A.D., which makes this time change even more bothersome for me.
Hi Barry. Good to hear although sad about the demise of newspaper there
. Around that time, it was known as "retirement town" so I would get negative reaction when I would mention the town. Good to see it growing up to be more than that.Oh, so many great memories of being there. Thanks for reminding me of that!
When we were coming up here as a family, the flight attendant said this place was wonderful. But it was critical to leave it in the middle of winter and go some place warm to break up the time! Great advice which sadly I have never followed
. Wish there was a good audio conference in some place tropical and warm we could go to. CES is coming up but being in Las Vegas, it is only a partial reprieve.Similar threads
