I go to bed relatively early, I haven’t really been drinking much lately and have been eating very well but I always seem to be tired!

I have been getting to work earlier than I was at my previous job but I still wake up at the same time, I’ve been sleeping more solidly too.

I seemed to be more with it when I was drinking most nights, sleep deprived and lost my appetite.


I always sleep terribly this time of year.
I've put it down to the spring weather. Windy nights, hayfever all day, etc.

I've generally found my issues start with a couple of weeks to go in September, so it's not daylight saving for me, but yeah, never fun when it's like this.

A lot of fair points, I too struggle at this time of year and also when the weather starts changing the other way around.

It’s weird though, I actually feel as alive and happy as I’ve been in a long time, Saturday night for instance I had been at the cricket for most of the day, whoofed a few beers and cc’s down at home then went to a party at 10pm, got home at 4am and felt fine Sunday arvo.

I’m in great spirits atm.

Reasonably light now, but it's at the end of daylight savings when it takes unnecessarily long for the sun to come up.

Would you rather have more light in the morning or evening?

Morning definitely.

I don't mind it being dark until 7 a.m. in the middle of winter - naturally that's what happens in winter.

It's the darkness (due to DST) in October and March/April that sh1ts me.

I dont get it.

Most of us work full time, which normally means you dont get home or finish work until around 5pm. No one really has time in the morning to do anything outdoors so the extra hour in the evening to get out, go for a run, hike, ride, beach for a swim etc is more valuable than driving to work when the sun is out.

I do my exercise (outdoors) in the morning before work, hence why I hate DST.
