It was showing 8:27am
on my phone, when I woke up today morning. But when I glanced farther, the
clock was still few minutes shy of 7:30. At once it struck me the clock needs
to move forward. With the advent of internet, devices like phone, tablets, and
computers reset the daylight saving time automatically. But clocks and watches
need to be set manually.
It is almost a decade
when I was enlightened about the concept of Daylight saving time in US of A,
how the clocks move forward by an hour in spring and again back in autumn just
before the onset of winters. Back in India it never happens, though it may
result in huge energy saving. It will be like an earth hour daily as people
will finish their day chores an hour early.
In Luxembourg and many
other developed countries DST is applied on the last Sunday of March and clocks
are reset on the last Sunday of October. During peak summers usually in July/August
the sun shines brightly even after 9pm.
My body clock takes a
while to adjust .Initially for couple of weeks, I feel extremely sleepy and
lethargic by afternoon, just because I will be getting up an hour early. So
power nap helps. One hour does make a difference, though I rarely sleep during
afternoons.
Follow the KISS (Keep
it simple, stupid) principle and always remember the DST changes –
Spring ahead and Fall (Autumn)
back.
