How does changing the clock in the fall and spring affect your mood and sleep?

I like the one when you set it back and you get an extra hour of sleep but I also like the one where you get to do more with your day as it doesn’t get dark until after 8:30PM and it gets me in a good mood to have more daylight. But I am also a mess in the morning as I am more tired for a few days adjusting to it.

Answer #1

Doesn’t affect my sleep but my mood gets more upidy cuz the days get longer which means more daylight, I love bn outside so its great for me :-) how bout u?

Answer #2

Ugh. Takes me at least a week or two to adjust, especially when we lose the hour like today. And especially as I spent the whole of yesterday thinking that I was gaining an hour! Brain cramp forgot spring forward fall back.. lol. AND my cats take full advantage and seem to know the time has gone forward and asking for their meals an hour earlier. Very annoying.

Answer #3

The same! I get sad over the fall and winter and happier in the spring and fall so I may suffer from SAD a bit. http://funadvice.com/r/bqdq1249rdj

Answer #4

I meant happier in spring and summer! :D

Answer #5

I live in Hawaii, we don’t have to change our clock =].

Answer #6

I think time change is annoying. -_-

Answer #7

It doesn’t affect me at all XD I sleep all day anyway. :P I prefer it the way it is now though. I like having an extra hour of daylight! :D I love being outside in the spring & summer. :3 That’s where I usually stay.

Answer #8

It usually throws me way off… I’ll end up showing up somewhere an hour early or and hour late because I forget to change the clocks >.<

Answer #9

it doesnt really bother me to be honest. most clocks do it themselves and if they dont it takes 1 secs to change them..and my mood it does nothing to affect me

Answer #10

it angers me to know that last week at 630ish i could see the sun and now it’s nearly 8 am before i do. your comment about more daylight doesn’t really exist the amount of day light doesn’t change due to you moving a clock forward or back it’s only the idea that it’s sunny later in to the evening. i would perfer to have sunlight at 5 am like when i was kid on a nice July morning than at 6
