The clock says one thing; their brains and bodies are still trying to go by the previous time. I understand about the darkness thing, because I have Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and I also have headaches that can be affected by light. The time change is an artificial thing, anyway. If having their own time system helps them, and they can make it work, why not?

We've put our clocks back two weeks - it's amazing. We get a much longer autumn and winter comes later. November wasn't even snowy for us so we had much less disruption due to the weather. And now we're just getting ready for Christmas Day on Saturday. We've saved a fortune by buying all our presents in the sales. Pah, that’s nothing. We’ve put our clocks back two weeks – it’s amazing.

They're not staying up later than anyone else at all. Their clock is just an hour fast. What a pair of plonkers. Bless. “The only time it can be an issue is when you’re out at an evening function and it means we are technically staying up an hour later than everyone else”

They could also take a nap in the afternoon and shut the heat off. What a ridiculous couple!
