in your head, as in "It's actually only FOUR fifteen..."
I do this with the dogs, who start demanding supper around 3 pm.
Also, when I wake up in the morning.

Today is Wednesday. I'm still converting the time. Have I mentioned I really, really hate the time change?

A day or two normally. I also adjust fairly well to time changes with travelling - I am back on ‘location time’ within a couple of days, even after flying to/from Australia, which is an 8-10 hour time difference (depending on time of year) and a change of seasons.

I really hate getting up when it's dark outside. This morning my dog got me up at 6:40 and it was pitch black outside. It's not long before I need to get up for the day but dragging myself out of bed while it looks like midnight is not my idea of peaceful waking up!

I’m an early riser naturally, about 5 AM is when I get up and workout. I almost always wake before my alarm (5:15) but for about a week after the spring time change, my alarm wakes me.

About an hour or so.
I'm usually at work, so I have a few moments of confusion when I think "wait...what time is it?" but then I don't think about it again until the next time.

Maybe a few times the first day if something seems unusual... like if it's light at the "wrong" time I might think "oh yeah, because it's actually xxx time", or when our dog would be begging for dinner and I'd remember that her stomach can't tell time. lol But not after that, because the best way to get over any time changes -- clocks back/forward, jet lag, whatever -- is to just tell your brain that the clock has the correct time and then live with that.

LMAO!! For me this is the first time I’m struggling. Usually the time change doesn’t bother me at all. This year I’m dragging because my body refuses to believe that it’s bed time. So I’m wide awake at 12 when I should be asleep since I get up at 5. I was so behind schedule this morning and that drives me NUTS. |

Not long.
For some reason my body has not responded to this time change.

About a week in the spring. I am not a morning person so this particular time change is harder for me to adjust to. My body knows it’s not right and fights my getting up pretty hard.

Body wise pretty quickly, the next day or two.
Mentally converting time…not until I change my car clock, which can be days, weeks, months, or not until we change back in November. Just depends on if or when I change the clock in my car. I have still not changed it for spring ahead, so I am still converting

Some years are better than others, but I went to bed last night at 9:45 bc I could hardly keep my eyes open from the terrible past couple of days/sleep schedule.

A couple days. Some time changes I think about it more often than the next change.

seriously! I'm not one of those people who 'know' what time it is without looking at a clock and I don't have a particular scheduled day so other than getting DD up for school in the morning and the occasional dr appt - it doesn't really matter to me what time it is. BUT I do struggle with getting dinner on the table at a reasonable time during the summer (aka dst) because my brain is waiting for it to start getting dark (we aim to eat at 730p) and I also have a hard time adjusting my sleep schedule for several weeks whenever the time changes. |

Sunday, the day when the time change happened in the early morning (2am).
It's not a big deal. Go to bed 20 minutes earlier on Friday & again on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon~evening, all is good.
Do people not travel? Adjusting to time change is essential when travelling.

Usually about a month but since last years fall back my senior dog never adjusted so neither did I no he’s back on track since he never adjusted so maybe by the end of the month I’ll be adjusted 😃

The older I get the more I dislike DST. I convert time the whole time it’s DST. I find myself saying “in real time” or “nature says it’s ______ time, no matter what the clock says.” I am a night owl; owls are active in the dark. I like a nice long time to not be outside “doing,” and inside relaxing and puttering around. As such I am having a hard time getting to sleep this week because my body says it too early to sleep. And I am having a hard time getting up, because it’s dark outside, still time to be asleep.

I normally adjust in a day or two. Today was the first day I woke up before my alarm clock.

DSO changes his bedside clock before he goes to bed on the night it's going to change. I prefer to keep my clock as is so when I wake up I know how much sleep I've really had. The microwave and oven clocks get changed when I can be bothered trying to find the instructions on how to do it, or when DSO does it - whichever comes first. My car clock is the one that sometimes doesn't get changed for weeks. Especially now that I mainly WFH and don't drive much.
My body has no problem adjusting to the new time.

So if you are a shift worker who may be working at 2am on the Sunday morning of the change, do you still work the same number of hours, and just finish one hour "later"? |

It's been about 22 years, so I'm going to hazard a guess and say "never"! Our family lives in the neighbouring province where they never change clocks, and since we've moved here, I've spent so much time every spring and fall complaining about how much I hate DST, it's quite ridiculous!  Every single month of the year, I have to stop and think about what time it is where my parents live so I call them at the right time of day (God forbid I interrupt lunch or call too close to bedtime!) ... I think I'm just perpetually confused and weirdly 'untimed' ... |

Pretty much immediately. Given that I'm not rigid in my routines and it's just an hours change, not significant enough to have any effect on me. I think its the best invention ever. I don't see the point of having my daylight at 4am when I'm trying to sleep and having it dark when I get home from work.

So if you are a shift worker who may be working at 2am on the Sunday morning of the change, do you still work the same number of hours, and just finish one hour "later"? We work according to the clock, so start and finish at the same as normal except you've either work an hour less or an hour more. These days we do get paid for the hours worked, so they dock an hour or pay an hour extra, but that only started a few years ago, prior to that we just got paid for the whole shift and it didn't matter which one you worked, you still got the same pay. |

Normally, I'd say it didn't impact me that much...but then I slept in for a good minute on Monday after DH had left for work. 😅
(I'll blame the fact I am having ear pain following an ear infection. That's a good excuse, right?)
