Love how nobody got the joke

When DST ends you set your clock back 1 hour (or it does it automatically nowadays) in the middle of the night, gaining 1 hour of extra sleep

The joke here is that the guy did the same for Leap Day, setting his clock back 24 hours and gaining 24 hours of sleep, so when his boss called at 2pm he was in the middle of his ~32h night

But that's not a good joke, IMHO. It strains credulity even in the context of a comic strip and is so counterintuitive and unrelatable that no one here was in the cartoonist's head space.
