Anybody else hate/adjust poorly to the "spring ahead" change?
My brain has never dealt well with the change. It seems like it shouldn't be a big deal, but I've always dealt poorly with the spring adjustment

The fall adjustment is usually harder for me. I have been up by 2:30 most mornings now.
Tomorrow it will be 3:30 and I might be called normal....

I like a late sunset. I see no reason to screw it up each fall.

I couldn't imagine getting up that early- did you get up that early for work for decades or have you always been an extremely early riser?

I couldn't imagine getting up that early- did you get up that early for work for decades or have you always been an extremely early riser? For 30 years, I would get up at 4 or 4:15. I have always been raring to go at sunrise. By 4 in the afternoon, I am shot. Same with scheduled farm work as a vet. Getting there in the early morning was seldom a problem. I hated farm calls from a guy who worked in town and wanted you to come out after 5 PM. Last summer and winter fishing, I was often on the lake before sunrise. Maybe once, I was fishing at sunset. I know spring, open water fishing is better in the evenings, if you can escape the crowds.

The clock didn’t matter much to me this morning. I woke up before sunrise. My body hurt from yesterday’s work. My dog was completely wiped out from running all day. We skipped listening for gobbles and went back to sleep. Just woke up at 7:45 new time.

Not time change related, but I had two farms that I could tell who was calling by the time. One farmer always called at 4:15 as that is when he went to the barn. Another farm was always 4:45 , AM in both cases.
I also had a farm that did morning chores and milking at 10 or 11 AM.
They called me about 10:30 one night with a cow that needed a surgery. I told I would be out early the next morning and got there about 7:45. No one on the barn. I went and pounded on the farmhouse door and the farmer came out rubbing his eyes. He said the sun was just coming up when he finished evening chores and that they had ‘lost’ one milking that summer by doing chores later and later.
Modern, large dairies usually milk 23 hours per day and have staff on hand at all hours. The 24th hour is for clean up of equipment before they start again. It can also be 2 clean ups of 30 minutes each. Often the staff late at night doesn’t speak English. Most young vets now speak Spanish. Glad I am done!
Enough rambling.

Daylight savings time is bullshit and should be abolished. Pick one or the other or split the difference and stick with it.

One thing nice about Arizona is they don't practice daylight savings time. The only complication is I am working on central time so I usually start my day at 7am central which will now be 5am AZ time. I don't mind the early start as now I'll be off by 3-4pm, perfect timing for me to go for my daily 4 mile walk.

I'm not very good at mornings really ever unless I am excited about the days activity. These now dark mornings that had been light out really screw with my head. I don't generally really read anything though last night I actually read instead of turning on the tv. I finished a book, who the heck knew I could pull that off. I still managed to be asleep by 11, I'm always a night owl, I go for walks at like 10 pm and get home round 12:30 then try to shut it down to sleep.

I've been getting up at 4:40am, it "feels" earlier than that but I wake up easy so it's not a problem. What hammers me this week is when I go to bed and my body doesn't want to sleep yet. The clock might say it's late, but my body says it's an hr early. Takes me a week or so to get smoothed out.
