I know typically people are happy with falling back one hour with this time change, but regardless which time change is happening I seem to lose all focus and drive at work for a good 2-4 weeks.
This happens when I travel as well and but my friends and family generally seem not to mind change in time.
Anyone have any interesting information on this? I’ve searched far and wide but it usually results in numerous (worthless) lighthearted “here’s what to expect”-style news articles.
Spring forward fucks with me.
Fall back is just annoying because I get the sun right in the eyes on the drive to work again.
It’s interesting that some people get so disrupted by the time changes. I wouldnt even notice of others didn’t mention it.
I read somewhere that data was released that the week of day light savings had an increase of vehicle collisions.
I think it’s normal to feel tired when your sleep is disrupted/ changed. Some people are more affected than others.
Heart attacks go up as well.
You had focus before?
Not in this economy!
Sounds like having your sleep schedule thrown off really messes you up. Do other routines changing have a similar effect?
I believe age and exercise are two important factors here. Older people tend to function okay on less sleep. Regular exercise helps with both regular sleep and sleep schedule adjustments. If you can, try to put in more exercise for a few days after the switch. Hopefully it helps.
