Daylight saving time started yesterday and I am not happy, I had work yesterday so having to adjust to the one less hour of sleep was imminent. I love having light later in the day but adjusting to this time change takes me a couple of days, my body takes this one measly hour difference very seriously. There were several articles on how to get adjusted better, so for the last couple of days I followed the advice and got up an hour early but as expected I was also tired early.
Daylight savings would probably be a great idea if I was a farmer but I am not, I’m just a paper pusher who likes to sleep and doesn’t like her circadian rhythm messed with. So even after day two of this time change I am not happy, instead I am tired and highly caffeinated.And I am not alone, the Monday after daylight saving starts is called Sleepy Monday and for a good reason, it is the most sleep deprived day of the year. So how does this help me? It simply doesn’t. I worked on day one of time change so even a nap was not in my cards and again I am working today and the rest of the week so there is still no nap in my near future. I shall be tired and possibly grouchy for the rest of the week, at least that is my plan. Don’t say I did not warn you!
