Has the time change effected you?

W do not have a time change and as it is our 'winter' it gets dark out here by 5.30 - 6pm. what does mess me up is when the USA changes its time I am am so confused with cable television. It is all coming on at the wrong times and clashes for example with our local news channel. I hate it that the USA is messing with me!

This time change is usually pretty good for me since we get that extra hour. Last Sunday it was kind of nice to sleep in a little and still get up at the same time I usually do. That was pretty nice. Now that a week has gone by I think we are all adjusted to it and everything is back to normal again. The other time change where we lose an hour is the one that wrecks me. I love to sleep and I need my sleep so losing that hour is usually pretty rough on me.

Actually I have had no changes or disruptions from my daily life. I don't sleep much anyway so most often don't feel rested but was this way before the time change. I will have to drive to our daughter's house to babysit in the dark both ways if I am sitting in the morning also. This is the only difficult chore for me to tackle. I really don't like it getting dark here at 5:30. Makes for a long evening.

Come to think of it, I do feel a little more sleepy than I have been normally. Also, not everyone has changed their clocks, and it is driving me nuts! I was on my way to a doctor appointment yesterday and as I was driving down the interstate, I saw the time on a digital sign along the highway. It was 2:24pm. I was like, what? No way. Then I realized they hadn't set their clock back. And I had forgotten to set the clock in my car back so I was a little off the first day after the time change.

You're not the only one affected by the time change...I hate it! It seems it takes me at least a good month to get used to it--and like you I look at the clock and realize I should go to bed, but in my mind it's too early even though it's actually an hour later..LOL

Hi there jillhill! Don't you just hate it? I do but one thing I'm happy to hear is that there is alot of people feeling oh so tired by 8:00. I thought to myself good grief girl, are you getting old or what, so now I don't feel so bad, I'm not the only one, yea! My sleeping now is all messed up and I hate it..I feel like I should hibernate like a bear until spring comes around, lucky bears! And we've got a long way to go yet until spring, ugh. I dread what is ahead with all that winter white, slush, cold, cars stuck, coughs and colds, ew. I want to open my windows and get some fresh air!!!!!

Ours went back a week before you and I am still trying to adjust, the hardest one was setting Gissi's Bodyclock back the hour lol specially in the afternoon when I would have my Sleep he would wake me an hour before so I would only get half an hour But yes I find it hard every time to

maybe because I am an night owl . Or maybe it is because the wsy I am made but the time change doesn't efect me at all. I wait until 2am and change the clocks and from then on, I am okay. what I Have to get used to is the change in weather. Instad of just jumping up and putting on a t-shirt and jeans and going. I have to check the weather and pick which layers to wear.

As many do I think of the time change as Fall Behind and Spring Ahead, so I know when to set the clock ahead or behind. I don't seem to have a hard time with Fall, however I guess my spring has sprung because I do not do well in loosing an hour. Personally I think the time change does affect people and I wish they'd leave it alone, just my opinion!

The time change in the spring always affects me like jet lag, but the one in the fall doesn't. I just appreciate the extra hour of sleep. Though it really isn't since I stay up just as late.

I have always hated the time change especially when i was still working. It always takes some getting use to for me. I just wish they would leave it alone myself.

Hi jillhill, well we got ours a week earlier than yours of course as we didn't have an interfering president messing around with it. Personally I've always liked it when the clocks go back as it is lighter earlier in the mornings and I really hate to have to get up in the dark and cold. The dark mornings will roll around pretty quickly again anyway though.

hi jillhill well time change definitely changes a lot of things for me, i usually feel sleepy at 12 in the midnight and i am better off if i sleep but sometimes it happens that i have some work to take care of and still the other morning i have to wake up at 6 as usual and it gets difficult for me and also i get late at times, it takes a while for me to get used to the new schedule but changes i don't like, sometimes i am too lazy too ... i like to sleep for at least 6 hours but when i can only take rest for 4 hours or so, the rest of the day i am also like ... time changes and schedule changes all these i take time to cope up with, something i can't really get accustomed to soon...

I wish that we would not have time change. It always takes me a while to get used to and when I was working I really didn't like it because it would be dark when I left work. I love to be able to leave work in the daylight hours. Takes me a while to get my sleep habits back to normal.

Yes, it has bothered me too. And it's bothered my son too. I get sleepy before the time that I used to go to bed. Time change always messes me up though. The night that it changed I was cooking dinner and looked in the living room and my son had fallen asleep on the couch. lol So I reheated his food for him when he woke back up.

In the past I have had a pretty easy time adjusting to setting the clocks back except for getting used to it getting dark so early. However this year I had changed jobs so I work from 6:45 at night till 7:15 in the morning and I happened to work the Saturday night so at two in the morning we had to set all of our clocks at work back an hour!!! We ended up having a 13 1/2 hour night and it seemed like that extra hour took forever to go by so we could go home!!!

This is my first experience of the time change and i found out that i wake up one hour earlier. Thats better for me cause I have more time to do a lot of stuff

The time change has been quite interesting this time around. I didn't pay attention to the fact that we were setting our clocks back this past Sunday, and when I woke up at 12 I freaked. I got up and all the other clocks were different. Kind of threw me off some. It gets dark way too early now. Makes my kid really mad though. She keeps complaining bedtime is too early, and when I explain it to her she looks at me like I am telling the biggest lie just to get her to go to bed.
