We don't "fall back" until tomorrow night but I can hardly wait for Daylight Savings Time to be over, and here's why.
I can't wake up in the dark. Simple as that. Blame my wacky circadian rhythms, hormonal imbalance, whatever... it doesn't matter. When the alarm goes off and it's still dark outside, I snooze. And snooze. And snooze some more.
Some people dread the end of DST. They hate it when it gets dark at 5 pm. Me? I like walking to my car, after a long day at the office, in the dark. To me, it sort of says "Look! You worked ALL DAY. Job well done." And when I get home, there's really nothing to do but get dinner and relax.
No doubt, I'll be changing my attitude about this in a few months. But, come Monday morning, I'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and, hopefully, requiring a lot less caffeine.
Good day, sunshine!
