Yep. Nothing better than walking out of the office at the end of the day and it already looks like midnight.
**** daylight savings

Their bodies tell them what time breakfast and dinner are...and if you've ever tried to sleep through a hungry cat...
Takes a few days for them to adjust. Like babies.

4:00 here, except on Sunday, when I sleep in until 5.
I welcome the fall back. Great excuse to finish seeing the World Series.

I have three pups and it always takes a few days to get them adjusted. I guess the bright side is that they've been getting up at 4 lately, which is enough time to take them out, give them a treat and go back to sleep for an hour on the couch with them. I just hope it's not at 3 for the next few days.Got no dog in this fight any more since *I* sleep whenever I feel like it.
However, pets get disoriented when you mess with their circadian rhythms. And seven cats makes for a LOT of disorienting.
I hike my 4 dogs at 7am every weekday…which means they give me maybe 730 or 745 on weekends.
Last few days just slightly dark at beginning of hike.
I'm big-whiny with the clock change in the fall, but I don't like it all that much in spring, either, although it's less annoying.
If we're gonna keep doing it, my wish would be to push the change at least a few weeks later in each case.
Fall (to standard time): Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Spring (to daylight time): Last Sunday in April. I think that was vicinity of DST initially, then gradually shifted earlier.

Can we fall back and spring back? Gives me more hours of life and sleep that way.
It appears that I miraculously survived another time change without too much damage.
T's & P's to all those who can't adjust to an hour of change.
I know, we're also entering that wonderful time of year were the sun is in your eyes almost whatever direction you're driving.
I enjoy the first week or so of the fall chsnge because it feels like I'm sleeping in or something.
I'm one who struggles (whines?) in the fall with clock-switch, but I don't like it all that much when DST starts, either. It's like "cheating" the gradual, natural increase in daylight after enduring winter.
Assuming we continue the twice-yearly exercise, if I were the decision-maker, it'd be:
Fall-back to standard time: Last Sunday in November (weekend after Thanksgiving)
Spring-ahead to DST: Last Sunday in April (which was the case until, I think, 1987)
Go to bed a half hour earlier, get up a half hour later. Not that hard to adjust.
