Day Light Savings = Very Tired The Next Day

Category:


I love the extra hour of sunlight to do more of the things I like to do that require sunlight like surfing the internet indoors with the sun beating down in my face through the window, looking outside to see if the UPS guy is outside & looking at the sun directly. Gone is my seasonal depression and now I need to get back that hour of sleep I just lost.

Here in America, Congress passed a law to push up daylight savings time by 3 weeks. Did they realize this totally fucked up my internal biological clock? I’m not talking my biological clock that informs me that I need to try and make a baby, but the one that informs me of when I’m tired. The first work day after daylight savings time should allow us to go to work 1 hour later to make up for the lost sleep. The thing is I don’t want to work an hour longer, so I think we should still get out at our regular time.

USA is the only nation doing this so to my Canadian honeys you girls are lucky. In fact you’re probably sleeping still dreaming about me naked with my Wii in front of my private parts. Here’s to sleeping, so raise your glass and toast to needing an extra hour of sleep!

    I actually turned mine back this past Sunday too Gregg. I also lost sleep. And I can’t get it back.

    It’s not stopping my sexy dreams though.

    Boob Lady: want me to help you make up for some of that lost sleep with my warm pre-teen like body next to your womanly curvacious body?

  6. dirty March 12th, 2007 6:54 am

    I changed my clocks during the day on Sunday so I didn’t loose an hour of sleep, I lost an hour of day. So stop complaining and just change your clocks when you get up instead. Do you want some cheese with that wine?

  8. gregg o'connell March 12th, 2007 8:37 am

    erica: my clocks did change but im still tired dude!
    i dont drink wine i drink water and propel!

    Exactly Erica…Unless you set your alarm to wake up Sunday morning, you didn’t lose an hour of SLEEP…

    Joe: it messed up my internal clock

  11. dirty March 12th, 2007 9:14 am

    Propel is bad for your teeth.

  12. gregg o'connell March 12th, 2007 9:16 am

    dirty: why?

  13. julianne_b March 12th, 2007 9:52 am

    we wish you where the only nimrods who jacked up daylight savings time… my government decided to make business life easier for those pencil stiffs, that we also needed to push our daylight savings time ahead 3 weeks…

    i’m a little bitter about it… can you tell

  14. gregg o'connell March 12th, 2007 10:03 am

    julianne: you’re a housewife right? it must really mess up your naps and stuff

  15. dirty March 12th, 2007 10:38 am

    I dunno why…someone told me that it rots your teeth more than anything else out there…destroys the enamel or something.

    I’m so with you on the internal clock…I’ll be messed up for at least a week.

    My kids couldn’t fall asleep last night.

  16. gregg o'connell March 12th, 2007 11:08 am

    dirty: you’re right about Propel. it has some acide that rots your teeth!
    no more propel for me@

  17. dirty March 12th, 2007 12:18 pm

    Just looking out for my little boy!

  18. The Boob Lady March 12th, 2007 6:25 pm

    Gregg, I would love it. I like my men built like 12 year old girls.

    I’m curvacious.

    You wouldn’t know what to do with me.

  19. gregg o'connell March 13th, 2007 6:09 am

    boob lady: you better get that pictoral ready for me b/c i’m close to my goal weight!

  20. Dave Evanns March 13th, 2007 1:21 pm

    Waiting for the UPS guy? You like him don’t you?

    And if you really want to make a baby, i think that surgery can be done over a 4 month period.

  21. gregg o'connell March 13th, 2007 3:13 pm

    dave: i love the UPS guy b/c he brings me his package(s)

  22. Kale Rae March 14th, 2007 5:20 pm

  23. gregg o'connell March 14th, 2007 6:56 pm

    Kale: you guys are lucky America let you guys change your clocks early…:P

  24. Xtina March 19th, 2007 11:03 am

    Spring Forward can totally go eff itself. I hate it! I’m still tired a week later. Bastard!

  25. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 11:07 am

    Xtina: you seem to need an energy boost. Try Coca Cola Classic or maybe some PowerAde

  26. Xtina March 19th, 2007 11:11 am

    Thanks for the tip. However, I don’t think there’s any product that can make me happy about losing an hour of sleep.

  27. gregg o'connell March 19th, 2007 11:13 am

    Xtina: you may have lost an hour of sleep but it’s one hour closer that brought you to visiting my website

  28. Xtina March 19th, 2007 12:32 pm

    Now that’s a great way to look at it! Thank you, Gregg.

    Hey, you need to check out my site today. I have video of my dog walking on her hands.

  29. gregg o'connell March 20th, 2007 5:11 am

    Xtina: your dog is very cute like bunny rabbit
