Dealing with Daylight Savings: My Personal Struggle

[nikked]

I am so glad to have our clock back to "normal", but I hate this transitition time when our internal clocks haven't figured it out yet. It's like jet lag, but worse because of kids! I'm so ready to put them down, but it's way too early...

I was raised in AZ which doesn't participate, so I still have a hard time every switchover, even though I've been married almost 13 years and dealing with it since the marriage.

Just feeling sorry for myself and thought I would share my misery. Hope the rest of you are having an easier time of it.

Well, I'm about ready for bed and will probably wake up early.

Well my DD is PASSED OUT, and my 7 yr old is moaning that he's SO TIRED! My 5 yr old is telling me that he's not that tired. But, I've got them all down for bed 30 minutes early. 8 pm is bed time and they'll probably be passed out by 8! LOVE IT!!!

Fall Back is a lot easier than Spring Forward!

I agree with KG

I agree 100%. I am trying to get my internal clock set back though. It felt like 9:00 at 7!

My system is still screwed up from working third shift for the few months, and I still find myself awake in the middle of the night alot. Just the same, when I'm home, I go out for breakfast with my neighbor every Sunday morning. The last few times, he's had to wake me up. This morning, I was ready to go when he was and I felt like I had an extra half hour to sleep!
