Well, well, well… it’s that magical time of year again when clocks fall back, our sleep schedules get thrown into chaos, and we all collectively ask, “Wait, is it 6 p.m. or midnight?”
Here in Northwest Arkansas, Daylight Saving Time hits differently. One minute you’re sipping coffee in the sunshine, the next you’re wondering why it’s pitch black during your afternoon Walmart run. The sun now sets at what feels like lunchtime, and your dog is judging you for feeding them “late” even though it’s technically early.
Let’s break it down:
- 🕔 You gain an hour of sleep… unless you have kids. Then you gain an hour of chaos.
- 🌞 The sun now clocks out earlier than your teenager on chore duty.
- ☕ Coffee consumption increases by 37% (not scientifically proven, but spiritually accurate).
- 🧠 Your brain will ask “What time is it?” at least six times a day.
And don’t even get us started on the clocks you forgot to change:
- Your car: still living in the past.
- Your oven: stuck in a time zone of its own.
- That one wall clock: mocking you from across the room.
But hey, it’s not all bad. You now have a valid excuse to be in pajamas by 5:30 p.m., and the early darkness makes it socially acceptable to pretend you’re hibernating until spring.
So here’s to surviving the time warp, Northwest Arkansas. May your clocks be synced, your coffee be strong, and your internal confusion be mild.
