i want to reset the data collected on my lcd screen but i dont want it to affect the time it already has. i want the time to continue despite resetting the arduino board. any advice on how to do it??? pls respond to this message. thank you!

comment out => RTC.adjust(DateTime(DATE,TIME));
When clock runs OK it is not needed to set it
Take out line 38. That sets the time to the time that the sketch was compiled.
And your sketch is small enough to fit in a post; next time please post in your post instead of attaching it. Post it between
** **[code]** **
and
** **[/code]** **
so it looks like below (your code)

comment out => RTC.adjust(DateTime(DATE,TIME));When clock runs OK it is not needed to set it
how about when you set the watch dog timer to 3600 seconds? is that okay or even possible?
@rhonarae, please do not cross-post. Threads merged.
an hour sleep is not possisble. What IS possible, is to replace the clock with a DS 3132.
This one has alarms witch can be used to wake your arduino.
