“I stayed up to watch daylight savings time. It was still dark”

“I stayed up to watch daylight savings time. It was still dark” is a joke that has been printed on many images. This experience is not like watching a sunrise or a sunset. Some people just watch a clock.

Wikipedia: Daylight saving time
Daylight saving time (DST), also daylight savings time or daylight time (the United States and Canada) and summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls later each day according to the clock. The typical implementation of DST is to set clocks forward by one hour in the spring (“spring forward”) and set clocks back by one hour in autumn (“fall back”) to return to standard time. As a result, there is one 23-hour day in late winter or early spring and one 25-hour day in the autumn.

Meh, I stayed up to watch the daylight savings: the dark stayed dark or possibly got even darker.
Not worth it.

I stayed up to watch the time change for Daylight Saving Time. It wasn’t as exciting as I expected.

I stayed up to watch the clock turn 1am again last night (Daylight Savings ended), and oh, did I actually feel the weight of the world creep down on me then.
