Hmm, instead of an hour shift, a 30-day shift of 2 minutes per day would be an interesting experiment. Hey why do I see so many raised pitchforks all of a sudden?

Getting anything figured out would be a mess, obviously, if everything were synced up (from the clock on your grandma's kitchen wall up to the clock on say Air Force One) it'd be easier (hmm, I see even more pitchforks). Someone's daily meeting with overseas colleagues would be e.g. 9:56 today and 9:42 in a week's time.

Another alternative would be 4x15 minutes jumps, every Sunday in a month.

Couldn't you hypothetically just do this for your own purposes? Write an app that moves your alarm time by two minutes a day and tells you when to go to bed?

You would have to choose a wakeup time that was conducive to your work schedule, even when you're getting up an hour "late" (right before the time change), but maybe it would still be worth it?
