Reclaiming The Sacred, Lost Hour: A Love Letter💌 To The End Of Daylight Saving Time 😴⏰💤
"What’s your favorite part of fall? Oh, mine is when I turn my clocks back an hour, and I gain an hour of sleep. Love it!"
... Unknown
At long last, the tyranny is over! The clocks have surrendered, the sun has retreated to a reasonable schedule, and we, the chronologically oppressed, finally get back what was stolen from us in spring: that precious, glorious, deeply personal hour of sleep.
For months, we’ve stumbled through mornings like zombies with Wi-Fi — disoriented, under-slept, and slightly resentful of whoever came up with this biannual time-shuffling nonsense. But now? Now we rise (slightly later) as heroes of the night, victorious in our battle against the clock.
The Hour That Heals All Wounds
There’s no feeling quite like waking up after the end of Daylight Saving Time. You open your eyes, check the clock, and realize you’ve somehow beaten time itself. You didn’t just sleep — you time-traveled. You’ve won a cosmic lottery where the prize is simply rest.
And it’s not just physical rest — it’s moral. Deep down, you know this is the way the world was meant to be: clocks that make sense, mornings that aren’t pitch-black, and evenings that don’t gaslight you into thinking it’s 3:00 PM when it’s actually bedtime.
"The two most confusing words in the English language: Daylight Savings."

For once, time bends in our favor. And if that means we get to yawn smugly while others complain about “shorter days,” so be it. Darkness at 5:00 PM? That’s not a problem. That’s an excuse to call it a day.
The Great Auto-Reset Miracle
Once upon a time, this was the weekend of confusion — clocks blinking 12:00, car dashboards stubbornly stuck in July. Now? Our phones, ovens, and even our cars politely handle it for us while we sleep. The machines have learned. Humanity has evolved — at least in that one small, merciful way.
“Daylight time, a monstrosity in timekeeping.”
... Harry S Truman
Sleep: 1 | Daylight Saving: 0
So here’s to us — the well-rested, the unapologetically drowsy, the ones who believe that a sane society doesn’t need to play tug-of-war with the sun twice a year. We have reclaimed our hour. And if we’re lucky, maybe one day we’ll keep it forever.
