It threw us off a bit this morning! We went to the museum for an art class, but we were a little bit late (I blame daylight saving!) and they wouldn't let us in. It worked out great though - we just walked through the whole museum instead.
Now it's 9:12 pm and both kids are still up... that's fine, but they might be tired tomorrow when we wake them up an hour earlier than usual!
How is your family dealing with daylight saving time?

It sounds like M did pretty well (home with DH while I worked). I had to get up for work this morning though... 5am felt like 4am. Yikes!

Mama's exhausted, and I'm thinking of going to bed very, very soon!

So far so good! She slept until 8:15 (usually up at 7:30) and we just rushed this morning to get to family swim at the pool. Swimming definitely wore her out. I was thinking she wouldn't be tired for her nap at her usual time bc of the time change but she crashed and took a 3 hour nap. About to have dinner and will put her to bed at her usual 8:00 bedtime. It's as if the time change never happened bc she was just extra tired today.

It wasn't bad. We were pretty tired and missed church, but not because of day list savings as much as just choosing to sleep a little later than normal 
But It is 8:20 and J is crying in his crib.... soooo we'll see when he goes to sleep.

I got up at 6:00am to work out, which was actually 5:00am so I am exhausted right now and it is just after 9:00! As suspected, LO slept until after 8:00am so his naps were a bit off. I tried to lay him down a little early for his second nap and we put him down about 30 minutes later than normal for bed. I am hoping he wakes up at a decent time and everything is back to normal in a day or two!

So far, so good...LO woke up at 8 new-time, which felt good. She went to bed tonight at 8 instead of 7, but again, I can handle that. We'll see how tonight goes.

Daylight savings sucks. It's 9:30 and Chloe is still up.
Here's a pic from last years change.

We woke R up at 7 as per her usual wake up time to keep her on track. Her morning nap was messed up but she went to bed early at 6:30. I'm going to bed in a few minutes!

We traveled out of our time zone so we lost two hours instead of one. So far LO went down at her usual time, but unknown as to whether she will sleep in or not. Fingers crossed!

Easy peasy. Well, other than that 5am wakeup today. Bedtime went like normal. PHEW.

We got a little off schedule today. However we were also traveling so it could be a little of both.

We don't do the time change here, so no change for us. Our TV schedule changes, so I was subjected to Bob the Builder this morning, lol.

Pretty well! He woke up on time this morning (after a much, much needed easy night). He went down late (his normal bedtime is 8, we put him down at 9:30) but only because we were traveling, so we didn't get home until 9:15.

We just pretended nothing changed. She usually gets up around 6:30am - today she woke up at 7am (she thought it was 6am of course). We went through our day as if the time hadn't changed. She just went down - bedtime is normally 7:30pm so we just did it at 8:30pm.
Honestly I see no reason for a 4 month old to change anything - she doesn't go to daycare or have any real activities!

Our day hasn't been thrown off too much. She woke up later, but her naps were shorter so she ended up going to bed at her typical 7:30pm bedtime. Hoping that she has a good nights sleep and that she has better naps tomorrow though!

Was tired waking up today and surprising not extremely sleepy now!

She did perfectly. Went down at her normal bed time, 7pm. She had a bad nap today which actually worked in our favor so she didn't battle bed time.

LO gets up crazy early and its usually a rush to get her fed, bathed and into bed after daycare, so I'm not planning on shifting her sleep patterns to much. She slept until 7am this morning! I know its exactly the same as 6am, but psychologically it feels completely different. Though having her go down at 8pm instead of 7pm does cut into evening downtime.

I HATE time changes. Ours just wanted to keep playing outside and I had the hardest time getting them ready for bed. Still no sign of sleep yet hopefully they will fall asleep soon
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
Ok! Kids went down at 7 pm (J), and 8 pm (N). Trying to time naps with J was a little rough today, and he was cranky by the end of the day.

Ugh, she fell asleep at 9:40. Nap got thrown off because we had people over so i hope she'll adjust to the new times soon.
I seriously hate daylight savings!!

We don't observe it. So he did fine 
I did read everyone complain on Facebook that their phone automatically changed the time and that screwed them up!

Surprisingly well. My son went down o bed early. I started dinner late though. It's so nice to have more daylight!
nectarine / 2031 posts
We don't do the time change just realized from your post that daylight savings was today. But it throws off keeping in touch with mainland.

She woke up at 630 instead of 530, so that was nice. Luckily she was tired so I put her down for her first nap like normal. So 2nd nap was normal too. She fought bedtime, but I rocked her and got her asleep by 730(which she has decided in the last couple weeks is her new bedtime).
It is 620 and she is still asleep. I am going to have to wake up for day care soon.:(

We had too long of an afternoon nap yesterday, that killed us more than the time change. So we just went with it and slept in a bit longer this morning.

DS got a telescope this weekend and got home last night, wanting to use it. Of course, thanks to DST, we had to extend his bedtime over an hour in order to be able to have some telescope time. The result of that was an even harder wake up for school this morning. He's pretty tired, but we're gonna keep things pretty chill after school this week for him to rest up.

No big deal. LO's bedtime varies by about a half an hour night to night based on what we're doing and how tired she is so it just didn't impact our schedule.

I hate DST, now that I have a little one. Never cared before having him! I adjusted his sleep/eating by 15 minutes two days before, and yesterday and today am adjusting it by another 15 minutes. Hope to have him adjusted by a full hour by the end of the week. We'll see how it goes because his internal clock is so strict so while I love how his habits are so routine, this DST makes it a pain to change!
pomelo / 5621 posts
Everything went about as normal. A few days before DS started waking anywhere up to an hour early, so yesterday he woke up at what would be his normal time and he was in bed at his normal time.

everything went well. ds napped like crap for his pm nap on saturday so he went to bed at 630! woke up at the new 830 on sunday!
last night he went to sleep at new 7pm and i had to wake him up this morning at 815am!
dh and i are doing ok too. we did fall asleep last night form 730-1130 then cleaned and got ready for work week and went back to bed at 130, but i think that's more from our exhaustion from gymming than the time change!
