    If you take them in the morning, take in the morning. if you take them at night, take at night.. The exact hour isn’t critical, just that you are consistent…

    If she took it at 5pm before the time change, take it at 5pm after the time change. One hour is usually no big deal, and since they’ll be taken at the same time after that, it should be no problem.

    Take it the same time. If 9 yesterday, then 9 today.
    My doc told me I had a three hour window I could take it in. Just not to make a habit of early one day then late then early then late.
    One hour won’t hurt.

  • Thinking of investing your savings?


    While increasing your savings is good, multiplying your money through smart investments feels great - there are lots of opportunities out there and you can be successful if you're arming yourself with the right information.

    Where to start?

    If you're going to try your luck on the stock market or trading options, first start by learning the basics and delay as much as possible buying real positions. One way of getting hands-on experience with the markets is through online trading - either forex or binary options are good learning grounds and most online brokers offer trial accounts free of charge (if you're wondering what are binary options, 24option.com has very good resources on it, besides offering a free practice account and a wealth of information about binary trading in general). Final warning for the very eager: binary options are exotic financial instruments; real trading involves substantial risk of monetary loss.
