Twenty Three Back! For daylight saving time.

Created by D.R. on May 16, 2013

Instead of "leaping forward" one hour in the spring for daylight saving time, change clocks BACK twenty three hours. In the fall we turn clocks back and gain time. Everyone feels good, relaxed and more productive. In the spring, however, we turn clocks back and everyone feels generally yucky for a week or so. The result is a major decrease in productivity and increase in crabbiness. Therefore, in the spring we should turn clocks back 23 hours rather than ahead by 1 hour. Go to bed Saturday night, and get up the next day and it is Saturday morning! We get the same effect as daylight saving, but with an extra day to adjust.
