Trouble adjusting to clocks changing

I hate it. I get up when I wake, which is usually about 5am. After putting the clocks back, I and the animals want all our meals an hour early and want to go to bed far too early.
I believe the US has stopped the pointless stupidity of altering clocks to summer time and we should too.

I’m all over the place when the clocks go back in autumn but fine when they go forward in the spring and we lose an hour. Doesn’t make sense. 🤔

My allotment group normally meets on a Tuesday but we decided yesterday would be better weather wise. I greeted the same man with a cheery ‘Good morning’ twice but thankfully a feeling of deja vu stopped me doing it for a third time! I’m now going to think it’s Wednesday all day today.

Peggy is no help at all as she overslept this morning so instead of waking me up an hour early she was still snuggled up when the wind and the rain roused me.

Hopefully I’ll have my wits about me tomorrow when it really will be Wednesday….I think.

I hated that on nights we’d work the extra hour unpaid because it was assumed by the NHS that you’d work an hour less when they went forward.
It doesn’t really bother me now I’m retired and DDog doesn’t seem to have realised thank goodness!

Just remembering night duty at hospital on clock change nights. The pain of working an extra hour and then not getting paid for it. Managers always said that they expect I will work the shortened night when clocks go forward. It never happened ! Love being retired and just having extra hour in bed !

Rain lashing on the windows. Usually wake around five but of course it was four today. Long wait until DH wakes and a cup of tea. …..Ah well.

My body clock is all over the place. I’m usually asleep by 9pm awake at 5am.last two nights I was still wide awake at 10.30pm took me ages to get off to sleep then wide awake at 4.30 ! Never been this bad before.

The hooley and rain have stopped thank goodness - I have a routine blood test at 07.00!

So it’s 10 to 6 -“ really” 10 to 7 in old money?
Decorator coming at 8 so do I snatch another hour or not? Blowing a hooley outside and Rosie has curled up beside me, ah well, 😴😴😴😴😴😴

Oh no, I was awake again at 5 am, an hour too early. That's two days running, hope it doesn't continue. I might as well do some work at home before I get ready to leave.

Don't really notice once the clocks have been changed. Haven't got around to changing the clock on the oven yet so the kitchen is on a different time zone, which can be a bit confusing now and again. As we are both retired now it doesn't really make any difference to us.

Until everything was automatic/computerised, I used to spend most of the “gained” hour, changing the clocks on the CH boiler, burglar alarm, clocks and watches, video player, radio alarm etc.
Exhausted by the time I got to bed!

It wouldn't be too bad if we could explain to our dogs that there's an extra hour in bed.

A hour extra in bed, and up in the light. What’s not to like as far as I’m concerned. I do all my outside and manual work in the morning anyway, so the darker early evenings don’t bother me. I wish the dog felt the same, he was whining for his breakfast at 6.00 this morning.

I really hate this change, it causes all sorts of sleep problems for me I wish they would decided on one or the other.

I rarely know what time it is, sometimes I don’t even know what day.

It affected our dog too. Been out early this am. We like to take her to the woods after work for a good run around 5.30pm, but that’s not happening now it’s dark by then. She’d be fine but I’d probably trip.

I always struggle for a few days.

I don’t enjoy putting clocks right that don’t do it automatically.

I can’t say it ever bothers me.

However on similar tack, dh had an old aunt who couldn’t cope with a one hour time difference when she visited friends in France. She was obsessive about having meals bang on time, and would complain a lot of being ‘all out’ with her mealtimes.

I think her mother must have dinged it into her that without absolutely regular mealtimes you’d sicken and die. Seemed to work for her, anyway - she went for 60 years without seeing a GP!

Slow to adjust here too, although retirement means it doesn’t really matter… I was in bed just after 8 last night, and now the dog has just got up according to her body clock and has been running up and down! We need time to settle …

I don’t mind, but my dog has been agitating since 5am to go out on his walk.

At the minute he has just been told off for barking to go out! 😡

I can see I’ll be out by 6.30am

I spend days thinking it’s really six o’clock, when it is five e.g. Takes a while.

Hate it. It gives me jet lag. Takes me about a week to adjust.
I’m not so bad with the loss of an hour though.

Like Ziplok, I find it a loong day, and I have to gradually adjust the dog’s mealtimes as he can tell the time!

I don’t notice it at all total forget it after I ve changed my one clock that needs changing

This one is fine, I can adjust to clocks going back no problem. But ask me to get up an hour earlier in the spring and I'm a complete mess for a week or more, yawning all day but don't want to got to bed at night.
