So I said to myself – Yeah, Spring Ahead one hour. Maybe this will put me on a better schedule. I usually wake up at 5:00 or 6:00 AM – with an occasional 7:00 thrown in for good luck. However, I’m pretty pooped after having to teach until 9 or 10:00 PM twice a week, and then driving home for 40 minutes afterward. On Mon. and Wed., I teach at 12:00 and then at 6:00. This also interferes with my eating schedule. I eat a latish breakfast, then a late lunch and when I finally get home at night, I’ll have some left overs or something quick and small. However, that means it’s 10:30 on Mon.. or 11:30 on Wed. before I get to bed – and even later as I usually need some “down time” before I can actually go to bed to sleep. So setting the clocks ahead should have my body thinking it’s 6:00 when it’s 7:00, and so I can swing my sleeping schedule up an hour, and eventually be on a more “normal” schedule. All plans of mice and women … I woke up at 5:30 this morning (4:30, My Body Time). So I’m back on the old schedule. DST didn’t fool my Mother Nature.
