Time change

Anyone else having trouble adapting to the time change? I had everything down so that I pretty much ate meals and snacks at certain times, it is going to take a little time to readjust because my body of course doesn't realize the time is different now.

It always takes me a week or so to get used to it.0

Not when it comes to eating, but the sleeping time always throws me.0

Doesn't change my eating/sleeping but I have to move a lot of my workouts to the gym instead of outside because it gets dark so much earlier after work. Boo.0

It doesn't really bother me with eating/sleeping. It just makes me mad that it gets dark so early. It limits where I can run after work because I need to do it in a well lit area with sidewalks now instead of just going out my front door.0

the only thing it messes me up about is working out for about a week, as it sucks getting home, going to the gym, and it is almost dark out…
if you have your eating habits that meticulously planned out, you may want to "loosen" up a bit...0 -
I am fine but my cat alarm clock is having real problems.0

It's been helping me get to the gym earlier.0

I'm having no problem at all. My flipping flapping dogs, however, are having all sorts of problems. They've been up at 4:15 every day so far because I normally let them out at 5:15.0

Ha! That made me laugh out loud!0 -
It hasn't seemed to affect my eating or sleeping habits but it definitely screwed me up when I tried to go for a run after work. Guess I'll have to find a new route0

No, actually the time change has made my 5 am workout easier to wake up to.0

Daylight savings is advancing the clock in the spring. We (Texas) don't need more daylight during the summer. It doesn't get dark until after 9PM some days. I'm fine with it getting dark at 8PM in the summer.
DST is a hassle.0 -

I support shifting the clock so we have more sun in the evening. So, let's do daylight savings time in the winter, and daylight savings time+ in the summer 0 -
I have more of an issue going from standard time to day light savings time in the spring...daylight savings time should be done away with...there's no reason for it to be light out until 9 PM or whatever.0

Yep. I got up at 3am and showered before 5. I don't come to work until almost 9...0 -
My phone, automatically changed in my sleep, and I was completely oblivious to the time change, hahah.
Didn't find out it happened till just now reading this.0 -

I know what daylight savings is.. I love being able to get off work and taking my kids to soccer practice and then being able to go home and still have outside time with them... unlike right now practice starts at 5:30 and by 6 its dark outside... even during the summer I love having it light out till 8...0 -
Moved to Calif. from Arizona last year. The "clock turning" is silly! Wish they took Arizona's example, and dropped it.
But it does not affect me that much. I adapt to it quickly. I don't mind the extra hour in the Fall, but miss the hour in the Spring a bit more.0 -
Doesn't bother me at all--I wouldn't have even noticed except for the one analog clock that I have in my home.
When I was out of shape, it was a big deal.0 -
In struggling with my walking routines, but other than that feel fine.0

I cant stand that it gets dark early--it really throws my day, my mood, and my sleep off. My mom makes fun of me because I really think I have that Seasonal Affective Disorder and I live in a place that is between 65-85 degrees year-round which she claims is not possible. Its not so much the cold (well, I feel cold but I've seen Jimmy Kimmel and realize the rest of the US is much colder
) but the dark that really bothers me. 0 -

Well then I'm confused. You (@kcrow4102) seem to be saying that "taking away" DST means that it is darker at 6 p.m. If they did away with DST in TX it would still be dark at 6 p.m. for you right now because DST is over. We're now in the non-DST portion of the year. Summer is DST time--if they did away with it, it would be light out until 8 p.m. instead of 9 p.m.0 -

I live in south Louisiana and I go through the exact same thing. Almost like a time change depression (Please don't jump on me for using that term, because I know its not technically depression but more of a depressing mood)0 -

It makes sense though. Many people treat SAD with light therapy. It's not really related to temperature. While Fall/Winter SAD is more well known, some people have Spring/Summer SAD. I have SAD-like symptoms in the warmer months. I'm not a big summer fan.0 -
I am struggling with night eating, because it gets dark so early I feel like it is late and then look at the clock and it is only 6pm and I am done with my calories for the day. UGH!!!0
