Night Elf Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 My dogs woke me at 5:15 and now I'm wide awake. I hope it doesn't take us long to get into the swing of the new time shift. I hate being awake so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The wind woke me up. On the bright side, I didn't change my coffee timer last night, so coffee was ready AND the dog still doesn't want to go out, so I have a little peace and quiet (aside from the wind!)

marbel Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This is one of my favorite days of the year! I wake up, look at the clock, it says 6:00 but my body thinks it's 7:00. Lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm with you NE... I had trouble getting to sleep last night, but woke up at about the same time as usual. Now I'm just exhausted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm back to my regular wake up time (5:30). For about 3 weeks before any time change - spring, too - I start sleeping later and later. Then when the clocks change, I'm back to normal. It's weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerileanne99 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 One time per year is this extra hour of possible sleep given. But no. I have a child whose world revolves around a most-precise internal clock! She wakes up within 3-5 minutes of 7 am every day without fail- only now it is just 6 a.m. It will take forever to convince her that it isn't 7!

MrsMommy Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Everybody always says you get an extra hour of sleep in the fall, and I always wonder what universe they're living in. My children were all up at their regular, non-adjusted time (which is way too early for me to begin with, but I digress) this morning, and last night they went to bed when they usually do, so as far as I can tell, I actually lost an hour of sleep. Not cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian summer Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 And here I was so pleased with myself for being up early on Sunday. Oh well, I'll look like a superstar this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbeym Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I was wide awake when I woke up at 6:30. I'm so glad we're back to regular time. My internal clock doesn't follow DST and I live those months continually sleep-deprived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This is one morning I really could have slept in a bit. I was looking forward to it! But then dd's chorus director asked her to sing this morning and she has to be there at 7:30. In the Soup Nazi's voice I keep hearing, "No sleep for you!"

Butter Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I got an extra hour of sleep and it was lovely. I fell asleep at 9:30 last night which is the new 8:30. I always wake up at 6:30 naturally if there is no alarm. And that's exactly when I woke up this morning. Husband, kids, and dog are still sound asleep. I'm always the first one up on weekends.

Mandylubug Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Man, I was looking forward to sleeping for an extra hour. Instead, I am awake with a sick DD. I suppose I'll give up hope of going back to sleep at this rate and brew coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I love it when DST ends (and when it starts, but I'll save that post for next April). We switched last week and my son hasn't been going to school in the dark, I've gotten up earlier all week and gone to bed earlier, and it makes me feel like winter is coming when it gets dark earlier which I love. I didn't really get an extra hour of sleep last Sunday because I can't sleep in any more, but the extra hour Sunday morning was lovely. I am always happy when I get to live in a country where they switch back and forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 No extra sleep here. I was thrilled when I set the alarm last night to include that extra hour. Unfortunately, we're dog sitting, and no one told her that we get extra sleep time today. Going to be tired early tonight, and it will take a full week to completely adjust.

shukriyya Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I forgot the time change was last night and woke up feeling pleased with myself for sleeping to almost daylight. Then I remembered the time change and checked my phone which I knew would automatically adjust and sure enough it was only 4:00 a.m. This has been a frequent wake-up time lately and apparently the time change doesn't have much effect on that.

regentrude Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I am glad that I won't have to get up in the dark anymore. Now, OTOH, choir rehearsal tomorrow night is going to be really a drag since it will feel so.late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allearia Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I unfortunately needed to get up early and set the alarm for 7:00. After very grumpily getting up, when I looked at the computer five minutes ago and realized it was only 6:30 I got really happy. I accidentally got up at 6:00 and have a whole other hour to get things ready before we have people over today! That's the first time I have forgotten for quite a few years.

Slache Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I got a text message at 5:34. I've been defiant and refused to get out of bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate being awake so early. Yep! Who needs an alarm clock when you have hungry critters? We even gave our dogs an extra snack last night before going to bed, hoping that would buy us some extra sleep, but at exactly 5:00, they were up in the bed demanding breakfast. *sigh* So much for that "extra hour!"
