Why wasn't I informed? I got up 1 hour too early! But lets look on it on the positive side-it gives me an hour extra to post on EF. And it's great to be back to normal time.

The morning after is great: you sleep well and still wake up early.

I changed all different types of clocks without even wondering how to.
That means, this was the last time they did this. Fate works like this with me: Once I figured something out, I never need to do it again.  |

And if they do stop changing, I wish that they would leave it on permanent summer time.

It is 13.59h here. I'm logged in. I just read a post by Sandgrounder written today at 14.38h
What time is EF on now?

Strangely my body clock is better suited to winter time. I've been sleeping well this week for the first time in months.
Get rid of summer time!

Young kids and winter time just don’t work. Them waking up at 05:15, followed by me passing out on the sofa at 9pm. Constantly exhausted. A pox on whoever came up with the idea.

On the other hand, it's great that young kids do not have to go to the kindergarten in the darkness. Winter time allows them to walk in the daylight even on the shortest day of the year (apart from Schulsulvester when they have to be in the school/KiGa at 6 or so, I hate that day so much!)

It's still dark when we are having breakfast even in the winter time. Sunrise in Zurich on Dec 22 is 8:10 winter time (9:10 summer time).
