Works for me:
regression=# insert into periods values(1,1,'now','now');
INSERT 0 1
regression=# select * from periods;
periodid | periodnumber | periodstart | periodend
----------+--------------+----------------+----------------
1 | 1 | 16:13:14.35962 | 16:13:14.35962
(1 row)
I speculate that you are trying to display the table in some client
software that doesn't know the time datatype and is forcibly converting
it to something it does know.
