15 ways to fool daylight saving time and get your lost hour back

3/9/2013

We’re pretty sure daylight saving time is a prank pulled by a group of farmers in 1918 to punish city dwellers for gloating about their indoor toilets. The sinister effects of that prank will be felt again Sunday morning, when we will all shock our brains, bodies and souls by hauling ourselves out of bed an hour earlier. Every March it's the same: a Twilight Zone-type situation where the clocks say it's 6 a.m. but we know — oh we know in our very bones — it’s still the middle of the night. Fear not; there's hope.
