The 3 Most Common Things You Hear During Daylight Savings In Jordan

Like most countries in the world, Daylight Savings timing is a thing in Jordan. And although we’ve been experiencing this change in time every autumn and springs since we were born, we still act shocked and taken aback twice a year! Here are some of the most common things you’ll hear during daylight savings timing in Jordan.

1. Do I set the clock forward or backwards?

This question is loaded with that unique Jordanian sense of humor as it joins between sarcasm and dry seriousness. You’ll know you’re a true Ammani when you find yourself asking this question on the first day of Daylight Savings.

2. “You’ll get an extra hour of sleep!”

This is a phrase your parents are bound to use when you complain about how tired you are. They feel the need to make you understand the value of fall timing and will try to argue that you’re getting an extra hour of sleep (which we all know is technically not true).

3. “I overslept!”

This is the perfect excuse for any and all employees who are late the very first day after the clocks change. Truth be told, it’s a perfectly legitimate excuse!
