Time Change Blues

[kevin_standlee]

I don't understand why the DST time change disorients me much more than traveling (and crossing time zones) appears to do. For the past couple of days, I've been falling asleep in the late afternoon, sleeping for several hours, then being up for a few hours, then going back to bed. I think I'm getting the same total number of hours of sleep, just in two separate stretches.

The switch to summertime comes later here at the end of the month and it always throws me.

I could live without having to change at all. Year-round standard time would suit me.

Amen to that. I'd prefer standard time year-round, but let's just pick one!

As someone who lives without daylight savings, but has gone through two or three 'trials', I really feel for those like us whose body clocks don't shift properly.
