As some of you will know, I recently moved back to The Netherlands from Bulgaria after finishing my placement with the Bulgarian National Radio. This meant that I was moving from a GMT +2 timezone, to a GMT +1 timezone, so in Bulgaria it’s always 1 hour later than here. I had no trouble adjusting, but my laptop did. Every time I put it an hour back, it would jump an hour forward. It annoyed me, but I didn’t care enough to actually figure it out and really do something about it.
So then something started happening. I would actually get tired earlier, I would actually start doing what I should be doing at an earlier time (read: stop procrastinating sooner) and for a while, every day had an extra hour to it. That effect has worn off, but still, time is less ‘fixed’ as it is when your clock is telling the right time. Time’s such a strange thing, isn’t it?
