What Time is It?

Daylight Savings Time. Again. One less hour of sleep. Is it just me or does it bother everyone? Try as I might, I feel like I have jet lag all week without the vacation or flying part. Yes, I know - it means summer is on the way, which is a good thing.  We will be out on our bikes, no jackets, no boots (thanks goodness - this had to be the winter of worn-out boots), enjoying the sunshine - it's just this week that kills me.

Even though presumably it is only one night that we lose an hour, my biorhythm, my cicadian cycle, whatever you want to call it is out of whack. I try to fool my body and my mind by sleeping in an extra hour on the Monday after the time change. It doesn't really help. All I had to show for that was really puffy eyes and a general grogginess that lasts all day long. Plus this morning I was wide awake at 4:00 a.m. old time, 5:00 new time.

My husband tells me there is no such thing as new time and old time - I beg to differ.

There is no answer but to wait out the week. By next weekend, especially if we get some spring weather, all should be restored to the good old summer - time. Then when we go back to Standard Time, yes, we have that extra hour......
