SleepyHead/Daylight Savings Time

[pholynyk]

Pity, there are a couple of time zones that have 15 minute time zone offsets, apparently. See: http://infiniteundo.com/post/25326999628...about-time and http://infiniteundo.com/post/25509354022...about-time for some of the problems I've been thinking about.

Those lists are too long to include here, and I'm probably the only one who cares, anyway.

The time adjustment is on the DreamStation is for setting time zones. It can be used to adjust for DST, but why bother? It’s not going to affect data or treatment.

Good point, pupcamper; I though that might be the case.

Maybe write it off to a programmer's miscalculation, but does this not gnaw at your OCD?

So now that we are on "standard time"... seeing that the Sleepyhead summer time data is incorrect...  just leave your machine set to Standard time in the spring.
I'm betting that Sleepyhead will display the correct data based on the computer's DST setting.


Speaking of OCD...  somehow, my machine got set a full day ahead, most likely at the clinic when it was initially set up.
Set it back 6 hours every day... took 4 days to correct it.
It was a pain catching it after "6pm" on the 2nd day.

I vote we drop Daylight Saving Time; it would make programming so much easier.

You'd get my vote on getting rid of daylight savings time. Pick one or the other. I care not which, just don't make us constantly switch.

Either direction causes my sleep schedule and everything else to be out of sync for about a week. It's bad enough to have medical issues as they are, but then the fall back and spring forward time changes blast my sleep schedule. Why one may ask, does this affect me so. To that question, my grumpy body says "why not?".
