Spring ahead sucks

I've never been fond of the spring time change where we lose an hour. It's even worse now that I work on Sunday morning and that is the one day that I start work an hour earlier than normal. Sunday I get to work at 4:30 am. With the time change it's like going to work at 3:30.

Since I'll lose an hour I figured that I would go to bed an hour early Saturday night. Not a bad plan except that for some reason all day Saturday I had the urge to nap on the couch. That means that come bedtime I'm not tired. 

Since I spent Saturday napping I skipped some of the blog reading, email and responding to comments. I may skip it again today because I foresee more napping when I get home from work.

  2. Hi Ann, well I have been off the radar for a while and so thought I would catch up with my usual blogs....our clocks don't move until the end of the month but I'm totally with you on the whole spring forward thing...although I don't like the longer iChat's I do much prefer gaining the hour for the Autumn...on the plus side at least you could drive to work!! Hope you manage to catch up on some sleep after work.

    1. Nice to see you again.
      I agree, the autumn time change isn't so bad but who wants to lose an hour.

    1. Me too. I got an email from change.org today. Apparently they are helping someone who is petitioning to have it abolished

  4. I absolutely can NOT stand daylight savings time. My body perpetually thinks I overslept. Pooey. I'm with you, Ann. Love, Andrea xoxo

    1. Yep, and I'm betting boot camp at 4 in the morning is no fun :)

  6. It was strange waking up and seeing that it was 7 am. I'm usually up before 6! Sounds like you will definitely be needing that nap today.

  7. How long does it usually take for you to return to feeling normal? Gosh, Sunday is the absolute worst time for you to have to do this, too.

  9. Yes, please take care of yourself! Rest is so important.

    They are thinking of abolishing the time changes, but some people want standard time all year, others want DST all year. Would you have a preference? Probably standard time because you have to get up so early?

    1. I just got an email today from change.org about the time change. I would rather have standard time. I go to bed rather early and in the summer with it still light out when I go to bed it makes it hard to get to sleep

  11. I think the majority of people do hate it. I don't understand why we continue to do it

  12. Oh yuk!! I can't imagine going in that early! It's like the middle of the night. Hope it wasn't too bad for you! Naps area good thing. :)

  13. It can't be fun working so early. I used to work a couple hours later. I did like going to work when it was dark and watching as the sun came up. But I'm kind of timed weird though.

    1. it's no fun getting up that early but it's nice having the extra hour all to myself in the store. I get a lot done plus I get out earlier

  14. My mom so disliked springing a head but I love this time. It takes a day or so to adjust but I would love it just like this all the time. I used to love this time when I was working cause I could come home and have time to work outside. I know some people don't like it though.

Thoughts, opinions, constructive criticism, it's all good to me.
I will delete all spam comments however, so don't even bother trying!
