How's everybody taking the time change in america?

I usually feel more rested around this time but I usually have to get my daylight lamp out for my mood. Luckily though I go to work when it’s light outside now and go in later than everyone else to cover the later half of the shift so I feel ok right now. It has not gotten too cold yet. How’s everybody doing?

It didn’t affect me much other then being a small hassle to change all my clocks and my wristwatch. Oh yeah, it did surprise me that it was light in the morning an hour earlier.

It’s awesome, extra hour of sleep.

It only causes trouble when we lose an hour imo.

Nice. I like that it’s lighter outside too. You can do more outside earlier.

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking about. I was surprised I was so well rested.

I’m with @agent101g . I don’t mind the early darkness, I got up around 5pm today and felt pretty rested. Typically I get up later than that because I’m a night owl.

I do remember when I was a tyke waiting for the elementary school bus how creepy it was that it was suddenly dark in the morning after the forward-an-hour DST shift.

That’s good. I woke up at 11am. I used to wake up at 3 PM when I didn’t have a job but now its like 8 or 9 in the morning because of my body getting used to being up that early. 151515

I hate daylight savings time. It really messes with my sleep. I woke up at 4am this morning and couldn’t fall back asleep. Then when we lose an hour in March I won’t be able to get up in the morning. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

That’s what wad happening to me about a week before the time change but now that we’re in it, I’m kind of getting used to it. We’ll see though. I usually get seasonal depression around this time. I just hope it bypasses me this year or that I’ve been in therapy long enough to learn how to cope well. My therapists keep switching me back and forth from schizoaffective bipolar subtype and depressive though because if it.
