Hating the time change

hikingprincess · 11-08-2011, 06:15 PM

Every year I hate the time change for several reasons. First, it takes my body several weeks to adjust so I am waking up at 5AM when I don't need to be up until 6. Second, it means I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark. How do you feel about it?

It's a necessary evil. It helps the farmers to be able to see the cows nipples when they get up early to milk them. Also, the paper boys can see your porch easier. I've had several windows shatter beyond belief from errant throws.

You're not the only one who hates it. I stay tired until the "spring forward" time change. I think I have seasonal affective disorder. Either that or I'm part bear because I sleep a lot when we have shorter days.

I sure get sick of the time change.Wish it would stay one way or the other.

I hate it too... It takes me longer and longer to get used to it the older I get. I love that it is bright and light when I go to work but hate that it's dark around 5pm now!

I am not a fan either. I wish we could choose if we wanted to change our clocks... then again that would not work. Can you imagine trying to meet someone and not knowing if they were the same time as you?

I hate the spring clock change because I am not a morning person to begin with. Whose idea WAS it to require everybody to just one day wake up an hour earlier? SO unnatural.

It was kind of nice to wake up to having some light out. However, I could do without it. It throws off other things for me and the week after I just feel a little weird.

I really love the longer daylight hours we have in the summer time. Not real crazy about it getting dark by 6 though in the winter time. But, it is the way it is so I just try to adjust and make do.

I do not mind it in the fall but I hate it in the spring, for some reason that time of year just bugs me to change it around. Some states do not even pay attention to it, I wish mine was one of them.
