[ Time Illusion ]

During the summer months in Brisbane, I put my mental clock ahead an hour, matching the southern states that go on daylight savings. 

So my 5am alarm in Brisbane is equated with “but it’s already 6am in Sydney”.  And 6am doesn’t seem as ‘early’ as 5am.

The sun is in the same spot in the sky, whether my clock says 5am or 6am.  It doesn’t care.

Though it’s awkward at the other end of the day.  Dinner at 6pm isn’t very social, even though in my mind it’s 7pm which is quite reasonable.

Like I said, it’s all an illusion.
