Losing an hour of sleep

[MattH]

I'm gonna lose an hour of sleep this weekend when Daylight Saving Time begins, since I find it difficult to fall asleep earlier than usual.  When I was a Purdue undergraduate, most of Indiana followed Eastern Standard Time all year, which I preferred. Purdue's Mime ensemble even called their show "Eight O'Clock Eastern Standard Mime." Now most of the State does observe EDT in summer. Of course, being Indiana they still have some counties that follow nearby States, so the age-old question "what time is it in Indiana" remains challenging!

I hate it.  I get up in the dark already, now I will be walking the dogs in the dark...in the morning!  While I like the evening part, I think we should hold off until the end of April.  Its really difficult for me to adapt, I am by nature a night owl, so trying to get to be early enough to wake up in the rotten early morning throws me way off.  I remember reading somewhere that the first few days are some of the most dangerous days on the roads.

Glad you took that in stride, didnt mean it to sound mean.. just trying to poke some fun Im use to not seeing daylight too long in the military getting up at 5 am all the time.

We don't change clocks here until the end of the month. 

This means it will only be a 5 hour difference when I call the family.

GS, I get up about the same time..But not awake till about 6 !  Seriously though, it's just now having a glimmer of light in the morning when I get up and feed the girls (the pugs...which is why I get up so early, their stomachs are having them wake me up).

One good thing...I am not going to tell the dogs that we went to daylight savings...they can stay on regular time!

Also, pretty hard to offend me !!!

I used to live just south of the equator.  12 hours sun a day, every day, all year.

And we did not have to change the time ever!!

DW and I have 3 kids--9 years, almost 5 years and 9 months.

We're happy just to get an hour of sleep a night.

Oh, wait, some nights that's true.
