I want to call it "taking my daylight away from me time" because I really really miss having the sun up when I have to get out of bed in the morning. The winter days are too short here in Seattle, and I feel so much better when there is sun in the morning. It was only about a month ago when the sun was starting to show when I have to get up in the morning, and now it's gone again.
I can't say that I appreciate the extra light in the evening much since I spent it trying to wrangle the kids to bed and extra sunshine doesn't help.
I was good and moved my SAD lamp into the bathroom so I can sleep as long as I can manage and then turn on all the lights in the bathroom AND the SAD lamp so it's super duper bright in there while I take my shower and get ready in the morning. It seemed to help a bit this morning.
Of course, unless I go to bed soon, it won't be enough tomorrow.

So far our kids have been okay with the changes. I actually heard a report that said that Congress moved the date to try and save energy and a new study came out and foudn that more energy is actually consummed. I know I just plain need more sleep.
I SO sympathize with you. We get up at 6 with JC, and now it's dark again. Makes it much harder. And I should also head to bed, this morning was tough enough!
