>>and would have been very confused why my alarm was going off when it was.<<

TBH, the main problem here is that my primary clock is--much as I love it--a dumbwatch that can't do DST automatically†. Otherwise I'd have looked at my clock when I first woke up, saw 9:20, and gotten up. Then the surprise would have been seeing the clocks on the thermostat/oven/microwave read 8:20, but I would have had time for my usual morning gaming. (They do say you should try to start the day with something fun, makes it easier to get out of bed.)

(I don't use an alarm in everyday life: my normal waking-up process goes "wake up on my own, notice it's after dawn, check watch to see whether it's time to get up yet, find the answer is 'yes', get up". Sometimes there's a part earlier in the morning where I find the answer is "no" and go back to sleep (which may or may not take a while), and sometimes Mom will wake me up if [she's up, I'm not, and it's later than 9:30] (which is a standing request I've made of her).)

---

The good news is that my internal time sense is very easily re-synced to external clocks, so I expect the jet lag to be negligible like it usually is. I feel...basically the way that I normally would on a day where I woke up at 10:30: a bit upset to have missed out on the morning and that nobody woke me up (turns out Mom was still asleep, and had also been caught out), but otherwise fine.

†It also doesn't keep track of leap years, but you *can* manually tell it "today is February 29th" and it will go along with that. Dad was surprised it could even do that much: apparently *his* digital watch can't do February 29th at all, and you just have to suffer through it.
