I’m Ready to Spring Forward

This time change doesn’t fit my personality all. I enjoy sleeping late, but this early morning sun invades my dreams. I want my extra hour of darkness in the morning to finish my dreams where I can still walk, run, talk, drive, and breathe on my own. Yes, black out curtains are an option, but those would have to be opened and closed every day by someone else. Right now, I can open and close my blinds on my own using Alexia. I like having that control. Plus, I’m a late night kinda girl. Staying up to the wee hours reading books is a must! So, getting my late mornings interrupted puts me in a foul mood.

I like the sun streaming through my blinds late into the evening. Since I can’t be outside daily, I want the light of day for as long as possible. My skin burns too easily, and my body overheats quickly, which means sitting in the direct sun for longer than five minutes isn’t possible. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t like the sun. The brightness coming in brightens my mood. Getting dark before six is depressing!

The supposed extra hour of sleep is not a draw for me either. I lose the extra hour by waking up earlier. Then, the next few days and nights, my brain is confused. It doesn’t know when to wake up or go to sleep. Why oh why do we have to fall back!?

So, yeah, I’m ready to spring forward. Maybe I should start running for a senator position the next time around just on that platform. We spring forward and never fall back again. Who’s with me?
