Would you explain to me the physiology behind an otherwise healthy person being anything more than slightly inconvenienced by a one hour clock change?
Of course I can understand how a psychologically...or even neurologically...impaired person being serious affected.
Different strokes as they say
Sleep isn’t the only problem. Meal times change too. The Spring forward time change: we are eating when we aren’t hungry. The stomach and digestive system are not ready for a meal.
As for sleep, it takes me a month to adjust. I know this because, if I don’t set my alarm. I wake up exactly one hour later. Or the other direction, I wake up one hour earlier. I usually fall back to sleep but that extra hour is broken up and might not count towards sleep time.
I. HATE. IT.
And everyone I’ve ever talked to about it HATES IT.
Leave the freaking clocks alone.
Another morning person heard from. I'll be happy to explain it.
About 8 a.m. I roll out of bed and if I am lucky the coffee maker brewed 15 minutes before I got up. I grab my cup of coffee and my tablet, take care of a few other morning details and then head out to my porch to catch up on the news and enjoy my coffee.
I look up from my reading and my second cup of coffee and it is already 10 a.m., all because somebody thought it was fun to turn the clock ahead a hour. What is the point?
I know, for you early morning people it is a chance to proudly enjoy and even earlier morning where you jump out of bed, twirl your arms in circles first forward and then back, and then blurt out Goooooood Mooooornig!
It is 6 a.m. Guess which one of these guys just woke up and loves day light saving time and which one just got in from an evening out?
