Holy Crap

Even while I'm celebrating that last week was our province's final time change, I have still been absolutely knocked out by the time change.

My body just doesn't do that amount of a change.

I know some people are baffled by this because at least one person actually said to me "but it's only an hour?" and yes, it is an hour, not several time zones of travel but that hour is enough to completely eff up my body.  My body is very routine.

My body has a really good sense of when it's time to wake up (even if I "sleep in") and when it's time for bed (even if I can't fall asleep right away) and it knows when it's time to eat and be hungry.  And as I say every damn time we go through this.... EVEN IF I try to adjust to things, my body doesn't care.

So last weekend I went to bed at a decent time.  My body knew that I was in bed "too early" and so I didn't fall asleep.  But when it was the Monday of the time change, I couldn't sleep in so the alarm went off and my body knew it was 5:30am, not my usual time of 6:30am.  But then the next night I was exhausted super early but stayed up til a "normal" bedtime but my body still knew it was too early and like rinse and repeat all damn week.  Add on to that my body not being hungry but it suddenly being the end of my eating day and I have to cram in a whole lot of food I'm not hungry for yet.  And that I guess I forgot to eat earlier because nothing made sense.

I know I know I know that my body will adjust and, again, I 'm SUPER grateful we are not going to time change again but holy crap this is rough.  Or has been rough for me at least.  Even if it's less rough for others.  My body is just not up for the change.

This is not new.  I hope I can settle soon.  But when I didn't *have* to wake up for anything this weekend, I slept "pretty late" (even though by the old time it wasn't).   Le sigh.  I hate this for me.  I'm glad it's over.
