Has the time change effected you?

W do not have a time change and as it is our 'winter' it gets dark out here by 5.30 - 6pm. what does mess me up is when the USA changes its time I am am so confused with cable television. It is all coming on at the wrong times and clashes for example with our local news channel. I hate it that the USA is messing with me!

I have always hated the time change especially when i was still working. It always takes some getting use to for me. I just wish they would leave it alone myself.

hi jillhill



well time change definitely changes a lot of things for me, i usually feel sleepy at 12 in the midnight and i am better off if i sleep but sometimes it happens that i have some work to take care of and still the other morning i have to wake up at 6 as usual and it gets difficult for me and also i get late at times, it takes a while for me to get used to the new schedule but changes i don't like, sometimes i am too lazy too ... i like to sleep for at least 6 hours but when i can only take rest for 4 hours or so, the rest of the day i am also like ... time changes and schedule changes all these i take time to cope up with, something i can't really get accustomed to soon...

The time change in the spring always affects me like jet lag, but the one in the fall doesn't. I just appreciate the extra hour of sleep. Though it really isn't since I stay up just as late.

YES!! wow im glad its not just me. i have a hard time staying up past eight also. whew im glad u posted this.

Yes. I have been affected by time change. This week I am in morning shift so no problem. But last week I was in night shift, so I use to sleep from morning 8 to evening 7:30. Still that sleeping is not enough as I miss the whole night to sleep and I also feel sleep while I am in work. Really struggling in the night shift. I would be happy if I get morning shift for ever.

Ours went back a week before you and I am still trying to adjust, the hardest one was setting Gissi's Bodyclock back the hour lol specially in the afternoon when I would have my Sleep he would wake me an hour before so I would only get half an hour
But yes I find it hard every time to

Hi jillhill, well we got ours a week earlier than yours of course as we didn't have an interfering president messing around with it.

Personally I've always liked it when the clocks go back as it is lighter earlier in the mornings and I really hate to have to get up in the dark and cold. The dark mornings will roll around pretty quickly again anyway though.

As many do I think of the time change as Fall Behind and Spring Ahead, so I know when to set the clock ahead or behind. I don't seem to have a hard time with Fall, however I guess my spring has sprung because I do not do well in loosing an hour. Personally I think the time change does affect people and I wish they'd leave it alone, just my opinion!

Hi there jillhill!

Don't you just hate it? I do but one thing I'm happy to hear is that there is alot of people feeling oh so tired by 8:00. I thought to myself good grief girl, are you getting old or what, so now I don't feel so bad, I'm not the only one, yea!

My sleeping now is all messed up and I hate it..I feel like I should hibernate like a bear until spring comes around, lucky bears! And we've got a long way to go yet until spring, ugh. I dread what is ahead with all that winter white, slush, cold, cars stuck, coughs and colds, ew. I want to open my windows and get some fresh air!!!!!
