Picture this: You tuck yourself into bed on a Saturday night, blissfully unaware that while you dream, an hour of your precious time will vanish. At 2 a.m., the clocks jump forward, leaving you groggy and disoriented when morning arrives. If you attend church, you’ll find yourself rushing; if you plan to brunch, you’re likely to be half-asleep. And for parents, the sacred opportunity to tell kids to go back to bed is stolen away.
Now, I’m not against the concept of adjusting our clocks; I adore long, sunlit evenings and would gladly trade a bit of morning daylight when most of us are just commuting. However, I propose a more appealing alternative: why not forfeit an hour of work instead of an hour of sleep?
Let’s brainstorm where we could make this change.
Ideally, we wouldn’t want to lose that hour at the start or the end of the workday, to avoid chaos—like parents inadvertently arriving late to pick up their kids from daycare or complicating morning traffic. Here are three suggestions for consideration:
Monday, 11 a.m.
Pros: Everyone could use a little pick-me-up at the start of the week. Just as the Monday blues set in, we could skip ahead to lunch.
Cons: If you start your Monday on the wrong foot, it could exacerbate feelings of unproductivity.
Wednesday, 1 p.m.
Pros: It’s already known as “hump day,” so what better time to make the workday feel shorter? You might return from lunch to discover your day is actually an hour closer to the weekend than expected.
Cons: Wednesday is often the most productive day, so we might not want to jeopardize that productivity.
Friday, 4 p.m.
Pros: After a long week, who wouldn’t love to have the weekend kick off early?
Cons: This choice could lead to end-of-the-day confusion, so we’d need to rely on the media to keep everyone informed.
One final thought: I’m only suggesting we shift the hour lost from our workweek. In the fall, we should continue to enjoy that extra hour on the weekend, as it seems to work well while we’re sleeping.
What do you think? If this resonates with you, let’s rally together and advocate for a more sensible approach to Daylight Savings Time. Share the idea, and perhaps in a year or two, we can usher in a new era of time management.

In summary, let’s change how we observe Daylight Savings by losing an hour of work rather than sleep. Together, we can make this shift beneficial for everyone.
