Anybody else struggling with the time change WAY more than usual?

Edited on Thu Nov-08-07 08:46 PM by Mojambo

It's unreal. I have been completely useless all week. Usually I'm only mostly useless.

I barely made it through Tuesday and when I got home I collapsed and slept nearly 14 hours. I woke up the next morning and could barely remember driving home. All week long My body feels like it just wants to shut down completely.

I'm chalking it up to the shorter days, but damn, it's never been this bad before.

2. I have! It's very strange.

I mean, I always feel a little weird after the "fall back" part of Daylight Savings Time, but this years is a little odd. It feels like it should be 10pm right now because it's so damn dark out. It always feels that way for a couple of days usually, but it feels very.... extreme this year.

5. We don't time change here.

All the tv shows from east or west are on later or earlier.

10. Isn't this the first year it's been the first Sunday of November?

Could it be this one week's difference is having a much more negative effect on our circadian rhythms?

I've been absolutely exhausted all week, too. And here I am up at 12:35. Thank goodness I get to work from home tomorrow.
