I have been getting tired very early the last few weeks. Exhausted and mentally fatigued much earlier than normal. I’ve also been waking up a little earlier. I told Dj that I think I am still not adjusted to the time change. He thinks that is ridiculous. Besides work being a little busier I can’t think of any other reason for being so tired. What say the peas? Is anyone else still struggling with the time change?

Yes. Now instead of waking up between 6 and 6:40 (even on weekends), I'm awake at 5:00 and waiting for DH's alarm clock to go off at 5:15. I need to reprogram my coffee maker...if I'm going to get up at 5, then I'm not waiting until 5:55 for my coffee!

Yup. It isn’t so much the getting up because I have no choice in that matter. I have a dog that I have to physically be outside with which means getting up when she does. But I hit the wall hard in the late afternoon. I can barely keep my eyes open before dinner.

Yes! I've been so exhausted this week. Late afternoon it's like I hit a wall and don't really bounce back. I'm usually up until midnight and have been in bed by 10:30 this week. At first I though I was just tired from the Quilt Festival last week, but I've been home for 7 days. I should be over that. Then again, you would think I'd be over the time change by now.

This morning I woke up at 9:45. It was glorious. I usually am up by 7. I do eellike I need to go to bed around 8 though. I hate that part. Today I counted 11 people out walking or running on my normal walk. Usually there are closer to 30-40. It was close to four o'clock and people don't get out after the sun goes behind the mountains.

I have to do five minute increments longer each day for two weeks. After two weeks, they still are harrumphing at the earlier time. Today I gave up and fed them around 4:30 because we were going out to eat at five. |

It has been getting dark around 4:30 here. If I waited until six, I would have dogs getting the vapors and fainting. Corgis are full on drama queens when it comes to eating. |

My larger dog could care less but I swear my smaller dog owns a fainting chair and will swear he has low blood sugar. Not only does he stalk me but he "talks"too. So indignant, that one. |

I am still struggling - and add to the time change, I had to get up every morning at 5 this week instead of my usual 6, so that I could get DD to her bus stop while DH was out of town - he has bus stop duty the first half of the year and I take the second half but he was out of town this week. So with my alarm being set for 5, that meant I woke up at 3:30 or 4 - like, wide awake. I checked the time, groaned and just laid there until I fell back asleep until the rude *&#@ing alarm goes off. I know that they say that you should get out of bed when you wake up like that without the alarm, but if I do that, I will be ready for bed by 7PM if I am lucky enough to last that long. TODAY I am up at 4:30 to see them off for a softball tourney ... now the dilemma is - go back to sleep or start the day? Bleh. It's too early for this being productive nonsense.  |

Ugh, i'm at the end of my rope at this point! I've struggled with waking a little on the early side since I had surgery in September, but it's been worse since the time change. Mostly worse because the dogs are all screwed up too. They're getting up at 4:30  It's gotten old real quick. Generally when they get up they're fed too, but Thursday i'd had enough and I set an eating schedule and i'm sticking to it. I'm too tired to let these beasts run my life this week  |

Yes, up at 4 a.m. instead of 5 a.m. everyday. Today was the first day I "slept in." I hate ANY time change.

I drugged myself with Benadryl last night. Crashed into sweet oblivion at 10 and woke up on my own around 6:30. I didn't open my eyes until almost 7. Benadry knocks me OUT cold! When I DO wake up during the night, I go right back out. It's wonderful! I feel so much better today than I have for a while. The problem is that I can't take it during the work week, I feel SO hung over if I can't wake up naturally after taking it.

I am affected by the time change until it switches back to Daylight Saving Time in the spring.
I hate it getting dark so early!

No, it takes me only a few days to get used to it. What REALLY messes with me is TIME ZONES... We went from Mountain Time to Eastern Time years ago. Yes, I still got up at 7 am and went to bed at 11 pm BUT the clocks in North Carolina said 9 am and 1 am!
And when I first moved here to Mountain Time, I was continuing to wake up at 6 am... unfortunately, it was 5 am HERE and I didn't have to get up until 6:30 to get to work by 7:30. I did that from the middle of June until we changed back in the fall. Then, all of a sudden, I was back on schedule, just taking a few days in the spring and fall getting used to the time. UNTIL the three months I mentioned about in North Carolina.
With the hours I work now, I really appreciate having some daylight when I leave work in the summertime.

Yes, still struggling. There has to be a better way! I’m sorry you are all struggling as well, but it makes me feel better that I’m not the only one. Now I need to take advantage of being up earlier and use that time to work out instead of laying in bed trying to go back to sleep.  I mostly hate being tired so early. I usually have to do some paperwork after the kids go to bed but lately I have been too exhausted to get that done. |

I’m doing much better with this time change than I do when we spring forward. I have to get up early (like 5 am early) and it is nice that the sun is rising earlier, it makes it easier to get up.
This is a busy season I think it is normal to feel tired.

I too am struggling. But I don't know if it is the time change or the fact, no matter what the clock is set for, I get up in the dark and come home in the twilight/soon to be dark. I don't even live that far north! I will stay in a "jet lag fog" until the days start to get longer as counted by the actual hours between sunrise and sunset.

Add me to the struggling group. I always struggle with it but this year seems worse than usual. Can't wait for spring.

I am sorry you all are having a hard time! I hope it gets better for you! I’m doing much better with this time change than I do when we spring forward. I have to get up early (like 5 am early) and it is nice that the sun is rising earlier, it makes it easier to get up. This is a busy season I think it is normal to feel tired. I agree with this, I do better with Fall Back than Spring Forward. I tend to go to bed later than I should, but with the time change I am going to bed earlier, making it so much easier to wake up when I need to. |
