		tzs 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Avoid 2:00 and 3:00 am cron jobs (2013) Continuously updating clocks is an interesting idea, but it isn't solar noon that you want to to anchor it to. That doesn't really accomplish anything biologically useful. It is sunrise you want to anchor it to, because it is sunrise that our circadian rhythms sync to.

What definition of sunrise? I live near a mountain range, so sunrise changes depending on what part of the mountain the sun aligns with that day.
