    How hard is it to adjust. My clock on my phone updates itself, my alarm shifts accordingly, I don’t even realise it happens until I look at the coffee machine or microwave, I reset them and then forget it happens for another six months. If one hours shift effects you that much it seems like a medical issue.

        Surely your job also shifts with the clock change in a country that does DST, you don’t suddenly have to start work an hour earlier.

            But everything else shifts by an hour too? I literally don’t even notice the clocks change these days until I look at a non-connected clock, everything connected to the internet just shifts automatically, alarms and all. An hours difference shouldn’t put a healthy human out so much.

                Humans adaptability is what makes us different from animals who treat this stuff as second nature and are straight into their warrens, dens, etc the moment the sun goes down. A circadian rhythm in a human should allow for an hour’s shift either way. Otherwise we would never have been able to migrate and spread around so many different parts of the world with different daylight cycles to begin with.

                  And how fast do humans wander on foot? Consistently, with cargo and so on maybe 30 km a day. An hour difference is 15 longitudes. In europe a longitude is about 70, at the equator about 110 km. So it takes 1050 km or 35 days to naturally move an hour in Europe and 1650 km or 55 days at the equator.

                  Until evolution catches up to modern means of transportation or doing something like the time switch it will take millenia at least. And on top of that we also need to adapt to the 9-5 rhythm instead of getting up with the sun and to bed with sunset, like we did for hundreds of thousands of years.

                  And if you say that for you it is easy, that might be true, but for most people it is not and shouldn’t be. Finally i’d recommend you to have a look at the health effects of shift work, in aprticular working night shifts. It fucks peoples health significantly.

      It’s not man, really. Work and the stress that comes from my responsibilities at it, kids that make my sleep irregular, sleep deprivation because I want to do more than I have possibly time to do, slightly overweight, etc. overall I don’t have a significant amount of consecutive good nights of sleep enough to feel rested in general, and this makes me very sensitive to time changes. There was a time I also didn’t care or noticed, but when my nights started to become short, it started making a difference.
