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.
I need a day or two to adjust. Doesn’t matter if the clock goes forward or backwards.
I’m the opposite. Maybe my sleep debt can be that bad, but the one hour shift, where night comes when my working day is over, helps me so much separating the two parts of my life so well. Besides, getting up early with sun is wonderful!
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.
Also, that last hour of work feels like you should be on the way home already.
It’s interesting that some people get so disrupted by the time changes. I wouldnt even notice of others didn’t mention it.
You had focus before?
Not in this economy!
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.
