Which is worse? Spring forward or Fall back?

Now that we have had a few weeks or more…without daylight savings time, I wonder how many of you have really gotten over the change?

For most people, it is harder than they think . . . in both body and mind.

Since the seasons revolve around Your Goddess, this is no issue for me. 😉

But for the rest of you, I have enclosed some expert advice that will have all you back on your knees, hale, healthy and at My service once more . . .

Dr. John Sharp, a psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrist at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and author of The Emotional Calendar, said that seasonal changes can greatly affect the public’s outlook and mood.

“The fallback hour adjustment is something that causes much more destruction than people give credit for,” Sharp said. “It’s not just an extra hour of sleep, it’s more of a fast-forward into winter.”

Sharp said that even though the time change is only an hour, it can really cause people to not feel their best and give them a feeling of jet lag.

“It can cause a sort of circadian misalignment that can take two to three weeks to fully adjust to,” he said.

With days getting darker earlier, Sharp suggests making a to-do list for activities after work ahead of time.

“Any plans you have for running errands or going to the gym after work require much more effort and determination. It’s much better to plan more carefully and not just rely on how you feel, especially when it is dark out,” he said. “Figure it out in advance and stick with the plan.”

NOTE – Dark out at 5…..  really sucks  unless you have bad skin and live for the night.  Oh the good old days when I lived for both the early morning and the night.  And the afternoon and dusk and twilight….Sigh…

In addition, Sharp says in the weeks after Daylight Saving, some may feel like they have a bigger appetite.

“Eating more during this time is not the answer. People need to stay on an eating schedule and keep up healthy habits,” he said.

NOTE – sharp is not an Italian name is it?

However, Sharp said there are ways to better acclimate yourself to the time change.

If you are having trouble sleeping, he suggests taking some melatonin in the evening.

NOTE – Any idead here are welcome!  :)))

Feeling lethargic during the day…. Sharp said there is nothing wrong with adding an extra caffeinated beverage during your day.

“It’s OK to give yourself a little boost in this adjustment,” he said.

NOTE – Hmmm…sluggo sharp shit, dont talk starbucks to Moi….My personal fav is the Classic Red Bull sugar free or double strength Rock Star (sugar free of course!)  I just love those chemicals in calorie free carbonated drinks!  They really make Me feel powerful!

One sure way to better adjust to the time change is to start going to bed 15 minutes earlier starting four days before Daylight Saving, adding an additional 15 minutes each night.

NOTE – Not a bad idea sharpie.  I’ll try that…next year.

“By the time you are facing the time change, you will be better prepared. Anybody can re-set their internal clock by 15 minutes a night,” he said.

A word to the wise? Sharp warns that just because it gets dark earlier doesn’t mean it is OK to start happy hour earlier – or Daylight Saving could leave you with a hangover.

NOTE – Screw you sharpo  Happy Hour is any hour I damn well chose!  So suck it up or down boys and lets party in Marquesa’s playpen of punishment and passion! 

Oh Myyyyy… that Mommy Mia, she shows up at the most incontinent..I mean inconvenient times!  🙂
