How do you deal with a time zone difference?

  • A day feels like 25 hours to me now that I’m in Iowa.


    Central Time (which is the time zone that Iowa and some other states use) is a pain.


    To me, a day in Central Time feels like 25 hours instead of 24 like my hometown.

  • I'm like one hour behind KST which is fine by me since it's the same time zone as HK and Beijing

    You’re fine with it? Surprising.


    I’m one hour behind my hometown’s time zone, but I’m not fine with it.

  • wait why wouldn't you be? it's only one hour

    It must be because I haven’t been to other states in Central Time like Texas or something.


    Iowa is the first state that I’ve been to in Central Time.

  • if it doesn't affect you then are you bothered by it or something

    Yeah. It bothers me because one day feels like a long time like a webpage taking too long to respond. I don’t like long days.

  • uh why would u be bothered it. The only time it really matters is if you're visiting somewhere and your watch may be off but that's what phones are for. Or if u have to call somewhere/someone in another state it's best to be mindful of the time.


    You ask the weirdest questions sometimes.

  • I don't get it

    it's only an hour

    imho 1 hr is worse than 12 hour jetlag.


    because the difference between an hour in terms of sleeping time isn't really significant and it becomes hard to enforce for sleeping.


    my guess is that he's waking up early with his home's timezone but sleeping with the local timezone, which on average, would literally give him one extra hour. The body isn't quite evolved for fast traveling, and is probably a little startled in terms of "equilibrium"


    for 12 hour jetlag, it becomes pretty obvious - with wide margins - when is sleep and when is up, so the body gets with the program faster.

  • How long has it been since you moved? Maybe you'll get used to it like Daylight Savings Time.

    I moved to my current AirBnB in Iowa on December 4th. It's quite boring and sad being alone :(

    I'm coming back to my home state of Florida on December 8th.
