How well do you adjust to daylight saving time?

A simple solution to day light savings is to have summer hours for work and winter hours for work. Accomplishes the same thing without the physical & mental problems for humans and the dangers for animals.

the tips are irrelevant. Most people have difficulty simply because they expect to have issues. At both seasonal changes I adjust my go to bed time to insure I get my seven hours of sleep and I never notice any difference. That being said, time change is stupid and unnecessary. We should all be permanently on standard time.

Now that we have such great technology, maybe we should go back to the old way of doing things - and that time is set in each town based on the position of the sun. The problem with not changing the time is that if we stay on winter time (for example) here in the Czech Republic, the sun will be coming up at 3 am in the summer and setting at 8:00. Having it come up at 4 and set a bit after 9:00 makes much more sense. But keeping it at this time would mean that the sun woud not come up in the winter until almost 9:00 am....

I have no tricks. I travel a lot - so actually, losing an hour's sleep is not a big deal.

I set my clocks (the ones that I can) ahead during Saturday evening. Then go to bed accounting to daylight time. That way I don’t “lose an hour” of sleep.

I believe we should have one time that doesn't change all year… But in the meantime the change doesn't affect me but it does affect my cats, badly, and I dread the time change every six months. They have internal clocks that seem to match the external clock and now their feeding time which is three times a day is disrupted three times a day for quite a while before they adjust!

I never like it, but since my body clock doesn't run on 24 hours anyway, I am familiar with the temporal mismatch it creates. Unless I get out in the sun FIRST THING, and exhaust myself physically, and relax myself mentally before bed, I am awake until later than works for my actual schedule.

The key is to do what I just mentioned. If you are fortunate enough to have a 24 hour circadian rythym, you can readjust it with a few days of forced activities. I have to do it regularly due to my wierd body clock, but it really isn't that bad! In fact, it gets me back in touch with "Earth Time" and "Animal Self" in a spiritual way that is pretty opposite to my normal logic based attitude.

Keeps me real! Good luck, all.

I hate daylight savings time. Standard time or daylight savings. Just pick one and stick with it.😡
