Daylight Saving Time’s Upon Us

Tonight we turn our clocks ahead…and get up an hour earlier in the morning. I enjoy the longer evenings of daylight and somehow find I get so much more done.
However, until the year approaches its longest day, in June, our mornings remain darker. If we’re earlier risers, we’ll find it dark or dawn. But…we may have the glorious adventure of watching the sunrise rather than having it fully daylight when we get up.
Sometimes the changes in time will affect Alzheimer’s patients and confuse them if they have a body pattern. In others, who simply have a nap and awake mode, they’ll not sense the time change at all. It simply may be more difficult upon the caregivers as they adapt to the different time.
Do you find Daylight Savings Time affecting your schedule and lifestyle?
