The Boy Who Likes To…

So a few days ago BST – Day Light Savings time, ended. It ended on a Sunday and with the clocks going back this meant an extra house in bed.

Here is a  quick story about the boy who likes to play with time.

Now for me, no matter what time it be, I can only stay in bed for a certain amount of hours. Approximitely 8 hours. I can hardly stay in bed for any length of time after that. Once I’m awake, I’m awake.
Now this is unfortunate for the missus. As she can sleep no matter what time it is.
And last Sunday I got up at 740am, taking in to account the clocks had gone back, I’d had all the sleep I could get. But the missus saw it as she had plenty of time to spend in bed. But once I was awake I was awake and sadly for the girl she could’t put up with a noisy and fidgetty bed partner and was up soon after.

 Now it has only been a few days since Daylight Savings Time has ended, but I’m already feeling teh benefits.

After the government have been storing the daylight for 6 months its good to see them using it sparingly. Not going gung ho, but giving us a few extra hours each morning to brighten up the start to are working day.
Last week I would wake up miserable, freezing and in a bad mood. And I always put this down to it being dark.
It still is a bit cold, but now I feel much more energetic and happier of a morning. The difference, those extra few hours each morning of daylight being spent from the government, from their stoke pile.

Some people could argue that the daylight savings over the last 6 months should be used over a short period, meaning we could have maybe a week of nothing but sun. But I doubt I could get some sleep with all that sun.

I’m happy with how the government have been spending saved up daylight. And I hope they try the same scheme next year. I could do with waking up happy more often during the cold winter months.
