I was thinking about this this morning. All winter long, I get up in the dark. And now, with daylight savings time, I can get up in the dark all summer long, as well.

Getting up in the dark throws off the circadian rhythm. Plus, with DST, I now have to get up an hour earlier, meaning that the circadian rhythm is disrupted from that, as well, until my body adjusts.

I much prefer to wake naturally with the sunrise... maybe after I’m retired. Then I won’t care so much about the switch from DST to regular time and back again.

Might try a sunrise simulator-type alarm clock. Brings your bedroom lighting gently up and works a lot better than I thought it would.

4:00 a.m. is dark no matter where you live.........

I loved DST when I was kid...stay out later and play more baseball...Now, I'm retired and the change makes no difference to me. I still wake up with no alarm clock for me! About one hour before sunrise. Also, most days, I don't care what day it is.
