That feeling that changing the time makes me fell.
Nature does not follow the logic of the seconds and minutes but the one the sunlight marks. Men have created artifices like the hour system that constitute a different system of reference.
Twice each year is the times that we, in Spain, obediently change our clocks one hour to save energy, as they say. Hey! we are politically concerned with the need of saving energy resources. Why, then, don’t we limit the maximum consumption of the light bulbs, the PCs, the cars and, in general, of any human being. Hey, you! Fine for exceeding the maximum consumption of 30000 Kw per day and person. We could force to make the films shorter so we would not spend too much time seated down in a cinema wasting energy. As you can see, is a GREAT excuse for doing this every year. Imagine the companies' complaints if the government uses this kind of measure to deter people from buying cars, or use telephone or, in general, any other consumer good. Do not waste water, but build a swimming pool, that is what they say to us.
Seems that, according to the studies, is true that doing this, changing our clocks, saves energy. The doubt that I have is if that saving is worth the problems that makes, and if this saving is relevant proportionally compared to the costs. If what they want is power saving why not doing it in another way.
In Spain we always go before the solar time, about one or two hours more. According to this, at 12:00 sun reaches its zenith, but we, in the best cases, at 13:00. Many people think that this difference is something that we don’t have to be worried about. They say that our organism is already adapted to the unnatural mechanical clocks and not to the solar one. But the fact is that this change affects our biorhythms because they have little understanding of the hour from the clock and do have from the tides, the moon and the sun.
