Spring Forward Is Not for Wimps

Any way you slice it, there are only 24 hours in the day. Even when we spring forward, or fall backward, we’re not making or losing time. So why do we torture ourselves with the Daylight Savings charade? I’ll never understand it.

Nonetheless, all of my clocks say otherwise and I guess if I want to exist in society I’ll succumb to the pressure. It also means my brain is scrambled and confused and it will take multiple days to acclimate. It also means I better make the most of every one of the 24 hours I have every day and I can only do that if I’m rested, so it looks like I’m going to bed early tonight.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who finds adjusting to the time change anything less than a nuisance. I’ve read that car accidents, heart attacks, and depression rates spike in the weeks following time changes and I believe it. And since I’m not getting any younger, I think I’ll head to bed to prevent a catastrophic disaster. I suggest you do the same. This spring forward business is not for wimps.
