When I think of Daylight Savings Time, I think about more sleep or less sleep. What can I say, I love my sleep. But since that awful day of DST, I have been a mess. Whoever said DST means you get an hour more of sleep was totally wrong because they don’t have any children. Here are the top 10 reasons why I despise DST and the top 3 reasons why I love it:
- My 3 year old thinks it 7AM when indeed it is 6AM on the WEEKENDS!!
- I am extremely sleepy and tired at 8PM.
- I’m up at 4AM everyday and can’t go back to sleep until 15 minutes before my husband’s alarm rings at 5AM.
- It gets dark at 4:45PM. WTH? It makes me want to go to my bedroom and hibernate.
- I am exhausted ALL DAY.
- All my kids are up at 6 AM but the older two know better then to bother me on a weekend.
- I crave coffee all day long. It was not like that before DST.
- It gets depressing with so much darkness. Imagine Alaska, where they have darkness for like 5-6 months? That is crazy!
- Sometimes Hubby’s in a bad mood when he gets home. When he leaves, it’s dark. When he gets home, it’s dark. I think I would be too.
- I get in a bad mood b/c he’s in one.. Go figure!!
- Now for the good reasons: Kids start getting tired at 7:30pm..No more fighting about bedtime!!
- My 3 year old says she wants to go to bed at 7:30PM. YIPPEE!!
- Last one, hubby and I get alone time to watch whatever show on TV.. Ahhhhh, the TV to ourselves and we don’t have to fight about a movie that contains sex scenes..LOL
I prefer this time, because it is the ‘correct’ time and I’m all about having things be correct, lol.
But really, if they would just stop changing the darn clocks, I would live with the ‘wrong’ time, but just leave the clocks alone, it’s ridiculous, really.
What I hate about DST in the summer, is that it doesn’t get dark til 10pm, like I need my kids up that late, lol 😉

I love the time change! The only thing is after a while you start not feeling that ‘extra hour’ anymore. And come April, when the time is set forward again, it’s such a bummer.
