What Effect Did The Time Change Have On You?

I got jipped of my extra hour of sleep because my body didn't know it was back on standard time.  Tonight I know it will seem like I should be in bed and asleep at10 o'clock. 

 

Is is just me,or does everyone wish the time could just stay either daylight or standard all the time so these adjustments aren't necessary twice a year?

I wasn't able to sleep last night at all, so when I finally did fall asleep, I slept until noon- which was earlier than I figured, because otherwise it would have been 1.

No change here. I slept til 10...and then realized we didnt set the clocks back so I was actually up at 9.....so I guess it gave me an extra hour to get..nothing...done today...hahaha.

I don't think we need Dalylight time anymore. It was for a time when we were a agriculture nation--I don't think that is so much anymore.

I don't sleep well when I'm stressed, and I'm stressed most of the time, so you can see how that goes. I usually wake up about 5, this morning the cat and I were up at 4.

I forgot to change the clock last night but slept in late and then changed the clocks after someone online reminded me! LOL!

I'm not sure how much it will affect my 3 year old. I guess time will tell....

Does not effect me at all, as we do not even change here. It is such a stupid thing if you ask me and I am happy to not have to deal with even remembering to change clocks. My mom's supposedly smart clock in her bedroom that syncs up to satellites or something has been proven to be a dumb clock because it decided to fall back when it is located in a place that does not ever change time.

Oh my it would be nice if it stayed the same all year!!
I did notice I got tired thus taking my nap earlier......

I completely forgot to review the "spring forward fall behind" maxim. So, I woke up and set my watch an hour ahead. Finally, someone called me and I saw that my cable box was two hours behind my watch. It's a good thing that we do this on a Sunday. If it was Monday, I might have completely messed up.

glad to have the extra hour sleep. We were out late last night.

I enjoyed feeling like I got up early. I love the fall time change but hate the one in the spring when we lose an hour.

I feel so tired today, I don't know if the time has anything to do with it but I'm going to bed soon.
donna h. Nov 1, 2009, 7:27pm EST
I hate it...wish they would just keep it one way
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 1, 2009, 7:28pm EST
Didn't bother me either way. We got up about the same time we always do.
Clifford N. Nov 1, 2009, 7:59pm EST
I do not like it but have to live with it. It messes me up for a couple of days every time we make the change. It is nonsense to me.

I noticed having the light of the early morning got me up and going and I still have a lot of energy to catch up on my gather comments that I share with my friends.
Trish T. Nov 2, 2009, 2:03am EST
the fall back doesn't really bother me. it's the spring forward that messes me up. in the spring when we go forward I usually end up asleep by 7pm at the at least and sleep through the night and still feel groggy.

None, Audrey, we don't have daylight savings time here in Costa Rica. How have you been?

I lve in an apartment we built on to my son-in-laws and daughters new home. The tiw change obviusly is harder on parents with young children,than t is on senior folks!
Amanda F. Nov 2, 2009, 12:34pm EST
It does not bother me much though I dont think we have a need for it.
I did lay in bed last night for a bit trying to rember if we changed our clocks and trying to decide if I should get out of bed and check my cell for the time. Finaly asked hubby if we changed it, he said no and changed it and I fell asleep
Larry H. Nov 2, 2009, 10:26pm EST
didn't bother me, couldn't sleep that night anyway..
