Eventually, I prefer the late sunsets of Daylight Savings Time. This third morning of the new clock settings I resolved to depart my bed at the specified time that I plan to keep permanent until either the next clock adjustment or time zone travel. It was a struggle, but I am up, dental routine completed, newspaper moved from driveway to the front door, first k-cup of coffee brewed, and morning pills swallowed. I need that coffee to serve its intended purpose, though that typically happens after the second cup.
I have two sleep trackers, one a smartphone app, the other a feature of my smartwatch. They agree with cumulative sleep times, differing only by 8 minutes. The phone breaks down the components. About half it called REM or deep sleep, the other half light sleep or awake. I know I was awake far in excess of the 49 minutes its highly fallible method calculated, as I could check the red numerals on the clock radio with some regularity for about 2 hours at about the mid-point of my nightly sleep session.
However, the first step of sleep regulation, with few exceptions, is a commitment to Up on Time. For the first morning of DST, I did that.
