Congratulations! Youโ€™ve just lost an hour of sleep and gained... absolutely nothingโ€”except the joy of fumbling with time on all of your devices for at least 10 minutes. ๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿ”„

Daylight Savings Time is over! Set your clocks ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ an hour, if you haven't done so yet, or risk having an extra rushed Monday morning tomorrow.๐Ÿ‘€

How do you feel about losing an hour?
