Time Change Conundrum - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

2B4Him · 11-03-2022, 02:05 PM

In the old days, if I hunted on 'time change' weekend, I don't mess with my watch until Sunday on my way home. I would normally be tired and sleep well when I got back home, so the time change wouldn't impact me much.
However, I'm afraid if I go to bed Saturday night and set the alarm on my phone for 6:15 a.m., that the phone will auto-magically change time during the night (what, like at 2:00 a.m.?) and if the alarm goes off at 6:15, it will be what should have been 7:15 and closer to sunrise than I want to get up.
So, will I have to set my alarm to 5:15 to get up at the time I would have gotten up without the time change????

I always just stay up all night drinking to make sure I don’t miss the next mornings hunt, I make up for the lost sleep in the stand the next morning.

Can I have a hit?

jerp · 11-03-2022, 02:17 PM

I would use a cheap plug-in-the-wall alarm clock instead of my phone

ElPescador24 · 11-03-2022, 02:18 PM

Sounds like it depends on your phone. You could change the time on your phone before you go to bed, and turn the auto change off.

Or you could just bring a regular alarm clock.

Set 2 alarms. First one goes off, if it's still dark, go back to sleep. Second one goes off, if it's daylight, go back to sleep.

To answer the question...most smart phones these days automatically change the clocks at 2:00 AM. So yes, you will need to set the alarm for an hour earlier Sunday than you have it set for Saturday

AgHntr10 · 11-03-2022, 02:48 PM

Sunrise will just be an hour earlier. 6:37 for my area, I will set the alarm for an hour earlier than Saturday and iphone will update the clock time around 2AM.

Yep. This is not that hard, phones have been adjusting themselves to time change for a long time now.

OleTomTalker · 11-03-2022, 02:56 PM

Just get an east Texas lease. Most the time you're done hunting by 2 am anyways so it don't matter.

Landrover · 11-03-2022, 04:18 PM

Your phone will adjust automatically. Put the time in that you want to wake up and the phone will deaux the rest!

Throwin Darts · 11-03-2022, 03:12 PM

Yes set your alarm on your phone for an hour earlier. That's it.

Muskles · 11-03-2022, 05:39 PM

I think if you put your phone on airplane mode, it won't change the time. I always just change my alarm to an hour earlier. The main thing to worry about is changing your feeder timer.

smokeless · 11-03-2022, 05:57 PM

Use the old wind up. Tic- toc

rbsears · 11-03-2022, 06:07 PM

I’m confused on all the confusion. It’s not rocket surgery. I did, however, make the assumption that those reading these posts can add or subtract by the number one. Hopefully the Feds can sort this out for us and make our lives easier.

Unless you have a dumb phone, that would be correct…. assuming you want to get up about an hour before shooting time.

Never fails. Every year :

Next up…. Changing feeder and trail-cam times.

youngbuck1 · 11-03-2022, 07:52 PM

Think the change is on Sunday this year if that makes a difference to anyone

Great, they kept it the same so as not to confuse us.

Greenheadless · 11-03-2022, 08:17 PM

So, are we adjusting our feeder timers or not?

bboswell · 11-03-2022, 08:45 PM

This is why I keep a cheap wind up alarm clock in camp for this one day per year.

Is this real ?

I’ve already set and adjusted everything that matters, the feeder timers.

What the heck…When did they start changing the time…..

coker737 · 11-04-2022, 07:59 AM

So many don't like this method BUT we do a Fall Back on all Feeder Timers after the second week of Bow season. About two week prior to the Daylight Savings Time end. Then when we arrive at the Ranch on Friday prior to Gun Season, we all do a FALL BACK on our watches and Clock. So feeders will go off on Sat the same time they would all season.

Just me though. Yea we know Deer don't know the time BUT we do. Don't be a Hater.....LOL

Pretty much what I do. My timers are already changed. I’ll be there the 12th and all should be normal

Hahahaha….or you could just do 1+1 type simple math.

Do you adjust all your watches/phones when you leave on Sundays before the time change?

You have a point, but, if you’re drinking that much, are you worried about when to get up in the mornings?

bugleboy · 11-04-2022, 02:50 PM

It’s a smart phone, just tell it to wake you up an hour before daylight. It’ll figure it out for you.

60 Deluxe · 11-04-2022, 08:47 AM

I can't relate to your problem. I go to bed between nine and ten and wake up somewhere between two and four. No alarm needed. Perhaps your body has more of a rhythm than you realize. You will be gaining an hour so you may get your sleep in and be up at your normal time.
