Comment on how lucky you are that the clocks are going forward and not back- Neither of you can fathom how you cope when they go forward and lose sleep against your will.

Stay up late- You get an extra hour so if you want to stay up until the wee hours watching movies- it's ok- you'll make it up when you do go to bed together.

Have sex- That rest you've had from the extra hour has rejuvenated your bodies enough to increase your physical activity the next day.

Tell each other the wrong time throughout the following day- Before one of you remembers and you feel the elation of having more time with each other that you thought.

Go around the house changing all the clocks- That don't have the smarts your I-phone has to chance automatically.

Worry if you'll get up for work at the right time- You don't want to be in super early so you check and double check your phones before going to bed on the eve of your first school night since the clocks changed.

Moan about how dark it is- When you get up and go home it's pitch black and you are both excited for Christmas and worried you might get seasonal affective disorder at the same time. It's a bittersweet moment.
