Disturbed sleep since the clocks went back?

we have had the full moon this week remember, affecting our circadian rhythms, waking up to a bright light akin to a laser beam, shining through the curtains at 4.00am, up for the obligatory wee, glass of cold water, thinks, I will make a mug of herbal tea, hungry, made toast and peanut butter, then had to scrub teeth, back to bed, awoke at 8.50, shocked, good thing I don’t have to go to work, felt groggy all morning, it’s the moon.

This makes me mad every time. It takes me a week or more to adjust as I and my animals are doing everything at the wrong time and starting every day wide awake too early.
What is the point of it anyway? The days carry on shortening and by Christmas we have sixteen hours of darkness, no matter what the clocks say.

Its about time we left the clocks alone there is no reason to change them any more. We should just leave it as it is now, which is the correct GMT.

Yes, I do have a bit of disruption for a week or two, but it soon settles down again.
Possibly stormy disruption tonight!

Not for me. I travelled back from the US on Sunday so had a five hour time difference instead. I seem to have escaped the worst of jet lag by staying awake until bed time on Monday then getting back into a normal routine asap.

I always take a week to adjust, but we've been doing it for 60+ or 70+ years so should be used to it by now! It's harder with young children but I don't remember having any trouble, unless that's just my memory failing.

Yes, and the dog is still on old time too. Add in the stormy weather tonight and we might as well give up.

No.
My body clock seems to adjust naturally based on the amount of daylight, so by the time the clocks change in both October and March, I am more or less ready for it - more ready for getting up at the new time but slightly less ready for going to bed at the new time, that is.

That said, I am never a great sleeper, but certainly no worse when the clocks have just changed.

Yes - I woke at 5.15 am, finally got up at 6 to make a cup of tea. I get jet lag these days with any interruption to my sleep pattern

Yes, I get this when the clocks go back and the idea of getting an extra hour's sleep is a joke because I have been waking up at 3.30 or 4 ish. The full moon might not have helped as mentioned on a different thread.

No tips particularly.

I do find it takes me a week to adjust.
My body does it gradually, but I give it a helping hand by staying up later in the evenings of the week following the clocks change.

Wide awake at 5am today and yesterday. Didn’t associate it with the clocks turning back. ….but could well be.

Yes! I always get “jet lag” at this time of year. I’m usually wide awake around 0500, but at the moment it’s more like 0330. Horrible, isn’t it?

I don’t sleep much at night and need a nap most afternoons.
