When time falls back at 2 a.m. Sunday, marking the end of daylight saving time, most people enjoy the extra hour of personal time, be it sleeping, finishing chores or partying.

“‘Fall back’ is usually the best, because you have an extra hour to do anything,” said Ryan Neeland, 27.

That’s unless, of course, you are working the overnight shift.

Some bartenders are expecting a rowdier crowd Saturday night and early Sunday morning, following the KU-K-State football game.

One Kansas University senior is already planning to take advantage of the time change.

“With that extra hour, especially on game day, I’ll definitely spend more time out with my friends,” said Megan O’Malley, 21, of Overland Park. “One more hour till last call.”

When Lawrence bars close at 2 a.m. the bar staff is trying to hustle people out the door. But Sunday morning, they will instead be looking at an extra hour of serving drinks and checking IDs.

Todd Nuss, 23, bartender at Louise’s Bar, 1009 Mass., said, “I’ll be a lot more tired. : But it will be OK; we’re used to staying up late anyway.”

“It’s just that one more hour to wait to close the bar,” said Erica Goddard, 23, a bartender at Replay Lounge, 946 Mass.

When the downtown Lawrence nightlife has quieted, that’s when Deron Belt, 35, a baker at Great Harvest Bread, 807 Vt., is heading to work. He said the time change is “more of a psychological break than it is a physical one.”

“It’s the illusion of an extra hour,” he said.

Third-shift workers accustomed to the early hours said although it’s extra work, at least it’s more pay.

“I know a lot of people enjoy the extra money, if nothing else,” said Jill Abel, manager of the Kwik Shop at 1846 Mass. “As long as you keep yourself busy, the time seems to pass by.”

Jamey Hasselle, 32, night auditor for Holiday Inn Express, 3411 Iowa, said overall he’s not too worried about it. He’ll just have an extra hour to complete the last of the check-ins, do paperwork and run reports, he said.

However, with a game this weekend, “the unexpected could happen,” he said. “Being here in Lawrence we get a lot of late stragglers (from games and the bars).”

Later that morning, churchgoers may wake up confused about when to show up for services.

Kay Koch, membership associate at Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt., said some people miss church or show up too early.

“It seems like (with fall back) they get here an hour early, and they are always a little upset with themselves,” she said. “But they stay and have a cup of coffee and chat with everybody. Nobody leaves – they just stay and kind of grumble.”
