Hello Exhausted, or Well Rested Love's,
How are you?
I went to bed last night and had trouble falling asleep. On the night I was supposed to be getting an extra hour!!!
I woke up way too early and could not get comfortable to go back to sleep.
So here I am totally blowing the one day of the year we get an 'extra' hour of sleep.
I spent part of the afternoon dozing off during the football games.
Why, oh why, do they make us change our clocks twice a year?
Why do I struggle to sleep?
Sighssss ...
Did you enjoy an 'extra' house of sleep?
That the gov't will steal come spring .... LOL
Have a marvelous day!

We don't have DST in Japan, although the concept has been considered since sunrise is at like 5am in the summer.
People need to adapt to the sun rather than monkeying with the clock. It just creates grief going back n forth.
Hugs!!
I needed the extra hour because the night before Halloween was so noisy outside that I didn't get much sleep. I like turning the clocks back but hate turning them forward.
I hope you enjoy your Monday too hun.
Hugs

I would go for an extra hour a few times a year if they could manage that. I'm not holding my breath
Hugs!!
I suffer sometimes this time of the year. It's not the one hour time change really - the equivalent of traveling from here to Denver or Atlanta!! - but that is get dark "so early". I made it a point to get outside and be in the sun yesterday. The weather cooperated, and there was no shortage of chores to be done. That seems to have helped - based on a trial basis of ONE.
I got out in the sunshine today for a while. You are right that we need it. I need to get out my bright light thingamabob that is supposed to help me not get the blues.
Hugs!!
It was funny, I had lights out at midnight and I slept for what felt like 3-4 hours but when I looked at my watch it was only 1:50 am. Later I realized that it must have been the “second” 1:50 am after my watch set itself back one hour at 2 am.
Yes the auto reset has caught me more than once, LOL.
Hugs!!
I slept til 8am, which was really 7am! Woo hoo!! That's late for me.
I will appreciate driving to work this morning in day light. Getting darker earlier at night doesn't bother me, since we don't go anywhere after dinner anyways! (During the week)
Going out after dark this time of year is just asking to crash into a deer. LOL
Hugs!
You got that right! I almost hit 2 deer last week one morning. Woke me up, for sure.
Our clocks went back last weekend. I slept the extra hour!
Good for you!! Hold on tight to that hour. They will steal it next year.
Hugs!!
I like you was up as I am this morning with a sinus headache. It is why I don't care for fall. The up and down temps. don't go well for me. Have a blessed day...Hugs
The weather changes are trashing me. I will muddle thru until we settle into chilly. No other choice
Hugs!!
I am not a fan of the time change and honestly don't know why we still have it. Slightly grumpy from not enough sleep Zzzzz
I do wish they would stop monkeying with the clocks.
Hugs!!
I didn’t stay up to change the clocks at 2:00 am — just did it earlier and moved on. The time change doesn’t seem to throw me much, though I know it really messes with some people’s rhythm.
One of our parishioners forgot and ended up standing in a bus shelter, trying to keep warm. When she arrived at church, she wondered 🤔 why no cars were around.
Hope your sleep finds its groove again soon.
Oh bless her heart!! And mornings can be so chilly. I do admire her dedication
Hugs!!
I change my clocks when I wake up so I get my normal amount of sleep and an extra hour of doing stuff during the day
You are so smart
Hugs!!
