I think you guys should just adjust your time by one minute every day for 60 days. We don't get to mess with our time on this tiny rock in the middle of nowhere but I have lived on the mainland. That one hour time change is kind of a jolt and is disorienting. Such is the lot in life of folks living so far from the equator.
