Who else is suffering from a bad case of “Daylight Savings” insomnia?
Just us?
Every day this week, I’ve woken up bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed at 4am. All without cows to milk, roosters crowing or the sun.
So we thought, hey – let’s write a blog about 3 ways to deal with falling back to Daylight Saving time!
Step One: Coffee!
It’s Red Cup Season at Starbucks … load up!! Because, well, you’re going to need it.
Or, if you’re like us and drink 99% of your coffee at home – might want to get that Breakfast Blend.
Step Two: Take a Day Off!
Do something that’s going to make you (and your kids) exhausted – take a hike, go to Disneyland, or be like us: remodel your living room and knock an entire wall down in your house (did you guys see the craziness we’ve started with the #DurhamHouseReno on Instagram!?). That way when it’s 6:45 and you’re absolutely ready for bed … you can force yourself to stay awake for a couple more hours because your kids have no idea it’s only 6:45pm. It looks (and feels) like it’s freakin’ midnight, though.
Step Three: When All Else Fails … There’s always Spring!
Time heals all wounds, right? So if you’ll excuse us, we’ll just be waiting for it to Spring Forward …
So basically, we’re just saying …
PS … Moving to Arizona sounds pretty good right about now, right?! We hear it snows in Prescott …
HAHA!!! Love being an Arizona native!!
This is hilariously accurate! If only I liked coffee… agh!
This made me giggle- loved all of the graphics! It is such a rough adjustment…and don’t even get me started on the kids…!!
I totally feel your pain!!! I still haven’t adjusted either!
I’m not adjusting at all. I’ve learned that I am super productive 4am-6am, haha. 😛
It’s the worst with babies!!! I have a hard time with it, but it’s worse for her!
