I Hate The Time Change :(

I just happen to make the comment to my husband that it was only like 6 pm and it was pitch dark outside. Bummer. I don't like it either. I really thought it was later than that, it will take some time for us all to get used to it again, then they will change it again. Who does this benefit anyway? No one that I know! They all complain and don't like the changes. Oh well, let's make the best of it. Smile anyway : )

We have just gone onto daylight Savings and I hate the change over as well, the changing of the clocks, I just don't know why people can't just get up earlier if they want to, instead of subjecting us all to changing the time...

I never sleep the extra hour. I may be a little batty at times, but I am no night owl. I don't care for dark coming so early. Anyway, what can one do? The timekeepers keep track of time and I never wear a watch, so I don't care to often what time it is.

Hi pyewacket, I'm with you. I always dislike these changes every year, and find the one in the fall particularly 'unappealing.' We're on the same schedule as you, here in Canada. Many people were confused this year, because we 'fell back' one week later, and then changed so much earlier, in the spring. Anyway, it seems to be so very dark, as you've said, and I think, wow, it's only 6:00, and so dark. I'm also 'one of the ones' who stays up the extra hour, so it really doesn't give me another hour of sleep either. I guess we'll have to get used to this again!

I used to stay up, in my younger days. And while I love daylight savings time, I adjust pretty good, but my roomies, especially the "new" one take it pretty hard.

I don't stay awake, but I still don't get that extra hour of sleep. I still get up at the same time but now it's an hour earlier and I can't go back to sleep so it does mess me up. I also don't like when it gets dark so early but your right about the sunsets.:)

We put our clocks forward an hour a week before you put yours back. I'm staying up longer too now that I have my lap top...I watch while the tv is on. so, I'm awake till about 1am these days then up again at sun-up to tend to the animals. It's not working out for me either. I try and get a bit of a snooze during the day but that doesn't usually work.

Yup, when our clocks change I always find it takes me a couple of days to adapt. Having an extra hour of sleep is always good though :-)

I don't like the time change either. The only good thing about it is that it is not too dark when I have to get up in the morning. I hate that it gets dark so early! It is completely dark here by 6pm and I feel I'm ready for bed around 8pm! I did enjoy the extra hour of sleep I got on Saturday night. That was nice, but I'll be glad when Daylight Savings Time starts again! God bless.

The "fall back" change is not bad since we do get the extra hour. (Yes, I do use it to sleep!) But the spring thing is the pits. Takes me weeks to get straight. I hate changing the clocks, too.

now you know i'm up too LOL i hate that time change,it throws me off. to make it worse,it seems like they've moved the day around,so you don't know when it is. i just wait for my cable clock to change anymore-then i'll change the rest. i usually find a project to work on for that extra hour.

I also hate it when they mess with the time, pyewacket. In my opinion, things usually work out better when mankind keeps their hands off. I am also a night owl, and, yes, I do look at that extra hour as more time to stay awake at night. It took three attempts before I actually got out of bed today. I woke up early to make an important phone call. Then I turned on the TV and told myself I would catch a bit of the news before I started my coffee maker. I fell asleep, only to be awakened by a phone call from a friend an hour later. Instead of getting out of bed, I then fell asleep again! Needless to say, it was around noon when I finally roused myself enough to actually get moving.

Hi,lately i dont even notice the stupid time around here.I could look at the clock and it says 6:30 pm and then look again and its 9:30 pm,where did the time go,i guess my daughter makes sure lately that id dont see it,haha.Even the weeks for me go by sooo fast because of the schedule we started here moday to friday,garderie,kindergarden,running in town doing this and that.I use to have a very hard time to adjust to the time changes but the last 2 times,it hasnt affected me only the light outside when the sun sets earlier and its dark here at 5:30 pm,pitch dark Peanutjar:)

looked your head picture, felt you are the person which a hope has themagic arts the change world.

I love it, one more hour of sleep.

LMAO! Nah girly I take that extra hour and sleep! I hate that it gets dark so early though. That's a real bummer. If I have to work until 6pm (like I did tonight and last night) then I have to drive home in the dark and I hate it. Plus it feels like it should be so much later than it is - you know? I use to be use to driving in the dark, but being off third shift for the last several months...and the traffic is worse too because it's not really all that late.

Lol I got to watch the same show twice in a row when it happened *laughs* It's an odd feeling for me...now my internal clock's all messed up. Not to mention most of the physical clocks ARE messed up lol...

Hi pye, Here in Canada we do have daylight savings time, BUT I live in the only province in Canada that doesn't do it. We stay on the same time all year every year, and I love it! Luv & Hugzz, PurpleTeddyBear.

Yes, well, just where IS the Daylight Savings Bank, anyway? I'd like to make a withdrawal... I may

This is so funny, pye! I am definitely a night owl, like yourself; however, that night I had to get up early the next morning, so I did not stay up to enjoy the extra hour even though I would've liked to!! Well, my cellphone is suppose to automatically update the time (does it when I switch timezones and what not), so I set my alarm and went to bed. When I woke the next morning, I knew that my phone should be an hour different from the clock in the bathroom, and it wasn't. So I had a little panic attack wondering if my husband HAPPENED to already change the clock in bathroom (NOT likely!) or if I was up at the wrong time. To be sure, I went downstairs to check another clock that automatically updates - it WAS different, and sure enough, I had woke up an hour EARLIER than what I needed to!! lol What do I do?!? GO BACK TO BED! :-D Then, later, after waking up and leaving the house, my cellphone still had not changed times because it was the same as in my car (which obviously I had not changed yet). I got to where I needed to be early apparently (no one in parking lot), checked the time on my cellphone (saying 12:00), went to the gas station for breakfast, and then came back. THEN, finally, I looked at my phone and it had switched over and said 11:07 or something....It was funny when I got out of my car and my boss asked "Are you on the right time or the wrong time?" "I think I'm on BOTH this morning..." I said! :-) Sorry its so long, but I had to share my story with ya about this funny time change thing - I think its ridiculous myself, but typically I do enjoy the 'extra hour' whether its spending it awake or asleep! ~Issa~
