Curious. That would happen in the fall quite naturally. You have to wake up at 2AM to turn the clocks back, then an hour later you have to do it again.

I've had a loss of awareness once or twice. On the century I did a month or so ago I was following roads I was slightly familiar with and expecting that I'd recognize each turn as I came to it. (I missed one and discovered a new option!) At about the 80 mile point on a road I've ridden many times I fell into a trance watching the road and realized I had no idea where I was. It was slightly disconcerting but I just told myself "Ah well, I'll recognize the next intersection when I come to it..."
