Thanks for sharing. Hey, consider this a tag to all of you trying out the program (and if you're just thinking about it, what are you waiting for?): I'd like to hear about your own experiences three weeks from now. I promise I'll keep you posted on mine. @Ellen: That is a funny story! Thanks for sharing.

I went to bed early last night, totally geeked to get started. I set my alarm a little earlier than usual - but not too much earlier, I didn't want to be a failure. I even used some of Dave's tricks to make sure I'd be up on time. But before I went to bed, I dutifully set all my clocks, which I hadn't yet adjusted for the time change yesterday, back one hour. That's right, BACK one hour. Spring FORWARD, fall BACK. Duh. Then I went to bed. At 6:45 my phone rings. I was supposed to be somewhere at 8:30. "Why are you calling me at 6:45?" I asked, sleepy and confused. "It's 8:45!" came the reply. D'oh! You've never seen me leave the house so fast, still wearing my sweatpants and my glasses and without brushing my hair or teeth. Yuck. So Dave's program didn't work for me, the first night I tried it. But I guess he wasn't planning on people going the wrong direction with daylight savings time. Trying again tomorrow...

But before I went to bed, I dutifully set all my clocks, which I hadn’t yet adjusted for the time change yesterday, back one hour.

That’s right, BACK one hour. Spring FORWARD, fall BACK. Duh.

Then I went to bed.

At 6:45 my phone rings. I was supposed to be somewhere at 8:30.

“Why are you calling me at 6:45?” I asked, sleepy and confused.

“It’s 8:45!” came the reply. D’oh! You’ve never seen me leave the house so fast, still wearing my sweatpants and my glasses and without brushing my hair or teeth. Yuck.

So Dave’s program didn’t work for me, the first night I tried it. But I guess he wasn’t planning on people going the wrong direction with daylight savings time. Trying again tomorrow…
