Do you feel you’re in a rush this morning? Too much to do? Too early to do it?

Left to run without cues from the sun and clocks, our bodies actually run on a twenty-five hour cycle, so we’re pressed to fit our lives within twenty-four hours to start with. And then daylight savings time snaps off another hour.

There are some supposed benefits of daylight savings time: fewer traffic fatalities in the evening, less crime, some economic benefits to businesses that benefit from sunlight (golf, for example, or convenience stores, according to Wiki). But for most of us who have to get up an hour earlier…..I’m just not feeling the benefit. I’m feeling a toll.

So that panicked feeling? Totally normal. Perhaps you can take a walk during the daylight at the end of the day? Or visit a convenience store? Take up golf at the end of the day? Drive more safely?
