The Clock Changes

Postby YoshiKid54 » May 11th, 2010, 10:27 pm

Think of this: You're at bed nervous to go to school tommorrow. So what did you do? You simply adjust the time setting it 10 minutes ahead. Let's just say, you woke up. You looked at the time, which says, 8.00. Oh no, you're late! But thanks to you, it is actually 7.50, which gives you enough time.

Now imagine this: You set the time back to its original state. This time you did wake up at 8, which was the real time.

So here's my question: Would your punchual improve (waking in time) if you messed around with the clock? Explain this CONFUSING myth here.

Off-topic: I'm never nervous to go to school. Seriously, who lies awake in fear of going to school the next day? Unless someone bullies you or something.

I'm saying if you changed the clock ahead ten minutes, would you wake up early easily, getting ready to school? And yeah, it's confusing.

No. >_> If you're going to wake up late, then usually you don't wake up in the time frame in which you think you're late for school when you're not. Meaning, if you wake up late for school, it's usually much later then just 10 minutes.
