St. Louis Loses an Hour—but Are You Already Living in the Wrong Time? In the early hours of March 11, 2023, millions woke up to a strange pero event: St. Louis (and much of the U.S. via the Central Time Zone) briefly shifted one hour forward to align with Eastern Time. What seemed like a simple daylight-saving adjustment sparked curiosity—and a deeper conversation. Is this more than just a time change? Could it be a sign we’re already living in the wrong time? ### The Time Shift: What Actually Happened? At 2 a.m. on March 11, standard time in the Central Time Zone froze while Eastern Time “bled in” an hour. Official clocks jumped from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., eliminating the traditional overnight hour. Officially, this adjustment aimed to improve consistency across time zones during daylight-saving transitions—especially for scheduling, transportation, and telecommunications.
