It's Time To Spring Forward And Lose One Hour's Sleep!

Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 FHA, CHFA, VA Mortgages NMLS #65149

This Sunday, March 8th is Daylight Savings Time, so It's Time To Spring Forward And Lose One Hour's Sleep!  I don't know about everyone else, but as much as I like getting an extra hour of daylight, and moving closer to Spring, I hate losing an hour's sleep.

This year with all the snow and freezing cold weather we have been having, I actually will not mind losing an hour's sleep in exchange for the hopes of warmer temperatures and NO snow.  This has been a brutal Winter, and Spring cannot get here quick enough.

This is also a good time to change the batteries in you smoke detectors, and anything else that requires batteries in your house.  Changing the batteries in the smoke detectors only takes a minute, and can make a life difference in case of a fire.

So don't forget this Sunday, March 8th is Daylight Savings Time, so It's Time To Spring Forward And Lose One Hour's Sleep!  And one day closer to Spring and warmer weather!!!

George, You don't need to lose an hours sleep. Just set your clock ahead the night before and go to bed according to the new time.

Hi George Souto ,  I don't especially like getting up when it's still dark outside.  It's like getting up in the middle of the night, so I'm not looking forward to it either.

George I never like the time changes always takes me weeks to get back on track  and as Dick Greenberg  so eloquently stated our pets do not know that there is a time change...so not only does it mess with me but with our pets too....Endre

Hello George,

I don't know why we still go through this ridiculous exercise...it's time to dump the whole time change thing!

This year, the time-change has really crept up on me!  I think it's the ice and snow that everyone is still experiencing and not seeing the glimmer of a bulb peeping up from the ground yet!  It's TIME!  I'm SO ready for spring!  ;-)

As much as I love daylight saving time because of the longer evenings, I hate those first few days after the time change.

Hi George.  There is no reason to keep doing this time change.

HA!  I don't own a clock.

I live by the sun.  When it's up, so am I.  When it's down, so am I.

There must be something primitive about that.

George, I was in Las Vegas all week at the RE/MAX Conference and the three hour time change killed my sleeping patterns completely; got home at 1am yesterday and now I have to lose an hour of sleep on Sunday! OMG!

George, I got up very early every day this week and  now this!  I may have to squeeze in a nap to make up for it.  Thanks for the reminder!

I am considering this as step one to spring. I like the longer days and the extra daylight and energy I have at the end of the day.
