We'll see how it goes this year. I'm sure it will be fine. (There's power in positive thinking, right?) I usually enjoy "falling back" though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1912264 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 09:14:41 +0000 Mamaof2 1912264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I love DST - much prefer more light in the evening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1912260 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 09:13:24 +0000 Mae 1912260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO. I've ranted about this much. DST is stupid. I don't care if it is DST or ST but just pick one and STICK WITH IT. sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1912250 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 09:09:25 +0000 Anagram 1912250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I hate that, too!

I hate going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. Plus, I hate winter and suffer from seasonal depression so.. yay me.</p> <p>I do like the extra hour of sleep though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911402 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:21:43 +0000 HabesBabe 1911402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that DST is great for families and people with kids! Who doesn't like hanging outside in the summa summa summatime with your children running around?</p> <p>We're not ready for it to end :( We could deal with C's sleep since she sleeps 8:30p-8:00a, but H's sleep is HORRIBLE right now and we'll have to sleep train soon and he's still swaddled... so I guess since it's already bad, it won't be much different from the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911382 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:01:53 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1911382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually in our case it will work out great because our son is going to bed at 9 or 9:30 and we really want that to be 8 or 8:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911380 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 16:00:23 +0000 lilyann 1911380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not looking forward to it. I am so much more productive after the kids go to sleep at night when it is summer. When it gets dark outside so quick, all I want to do is go to bed too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911376 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:57:27 +0000 luckypenny 1911376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's never bothered my kids sleep but I personally do not like it getting dark earlier :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911355 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:44:58 +0000 birdofafeather 1911355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hate when it gets dark so early... i am wondering when it's going to feel like fall though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911324 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:19:27 +0000 jhd 1911324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not worried about baby's sleep, but I just don't like when it gets dark super early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911319 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:15:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1911319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm ready, I'm hoping we can get her to sleep earlier and I'm not worried about waking up early since it's a struggle, this might help get her up at a decent time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911313 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:09:33 +0000 Bubbles 1911313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never knew different countries switched back at different times! Here in the UK we are switching this weekend, Sunday 26th Oct. My DS wakes any time from 5.30 - 6.30, and I am crossing everything that he adjusts quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911309 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:05:32 +0000 Kimberlybee 1911309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not looking forward to it getting dark so early but can't wait for all the upcoming festivities and decor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911300 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:59:22 +0000 looch 1911300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not ready, I hate commuting in the darkness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911297 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:58:15 +0000 youboots 1911297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it because it means I start photoshoots at 1pm or so :) Rather than 7pm in June.

LO1 goes down at 7 but does fine going down later. LO2 is a monster at 5:45/6:00pm so is in bed around that time. There's no way it can be 4:45/5:00 that's way too early. Hoping she adjusts well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911242 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:18:44 +0000 Smurfette 1911242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So not ready.

Wake up 7-7:30. </p> <p>I can't wait because I love darker nights. It has never caused any lingering sleep issues so I hope it stays that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911213 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:02:22 +0000 PurplePeony 1911213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the risk of sounding totally pedantic, we're actually on DST right now -- the change in a couple weeks is back to Standard Time! (This is one of those little things that drives me nuts for no good reason.)</p> <p>And no, I'm not ready...I'm scared ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-ready-for-daylight-savings-time-in-10-days-or-so#post-1911208 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:00:10 +0000 mrbee 1911208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We "fall back" on Sunday, November 2! I'm thinking that whoever invented DST didn't have kids.</p> <p>What time do your kids go to sleep and wake up now? Are you ready to fall back? </p>
