Sheboyganites Demand Return of Daylight Saving Time Hours: ‘We Were Using That Hour,’ Claims Group

Sheboygan, WI – A vocal group of Sheboygan residents have rallied at the town hall this Saturday, just hours before the nation prepares to ‘fall back’, insisting that the end of Daylight Saving Time has unlawfully taken an hour from their daily routine.

The group, known as “Save Our Sunshine Sheboygan” (S.O.S.S.), argues that the hour between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM has become a crucial part of their lives. “We were using that hour,” insisted Margie Kettle, a self-appointed spokesperson for S.O.S.S. “Some of us were deep into our REM sleep; others were just getting to the best part of their late-night movie marathons. This is about our rights!”

City officials have been caught off guard by the protest, which featured signs such as “Give Us Back Our 60 Minutes!” and “Time Theft is Still Theft!” Mayor Bob Ticker addressed the crowd with a compromise, offering free coffee at all city meetings as a form of ‘time compensation.’

Local business owners are capitalizing on the controversy. Sheboygan’s coffee shops have reported a spike in sales, with one clever owner introducing a “Daylight Savings Latte” – the same price, just an extra hour to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, Sheboygan’s watchmakers and smartphone retailers have been besieged by citizens unsure how to manually change the time on their devices. “It’s like Y2K all over again,” lamented one shop owner, as he helped another customer reset a digital alarm clock.

As the clocks strike 2:00 AM tomorrow, Sheboyganites will be left with one less hour of evening light, but with a new resolve to question the time-honored tradition that is Daylight Saving Time. Whether or not their demands will lead to change remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – the citizens of Sheboygan will be savoring every minute of sunshine they can get.
