(7,061 posts)I want the twice a year abrupt and unnatural changes to stop. It disrupts my already fragile sleep patterns and other health issues so I never get any normalcy. And my schedule is earlier in the spring. I have always hated the changes and morning schedules since I was a child even then when I slept very easily and well.
Schedules should be adjusted accordingly to get the best possible amounts of light at the good times. Stop trying to force everyone to be a morning creature. Many already work on different shifts.
I was just starting to adjust to my early schedule and now Ive had little and terrible crazy sleep times starting before it started and after. Only 3 hours sleep today. And for years I usually sleep the biophasic patterns with the second sleep since having severe insomnia starting in my 20s.
My fav time was Isle of Skye in summer sunrise at 5:30- 6:30 am usually and sunset at 10-11pm, fantastic for a nocturnal person. Of course that is only in summer sadly. The only time I used to naturally get up early is on vacation. Now I never do anything in the early am due to bg crashes unless it is an emergency or unavoidable, or I have been up all night working which happens a lot.
