*picks up, unlocks phone, hits snooze button.*
*curls back up into warm bed*
6:00 am:
*drag my heavy body to the edge of the bed, checks social media & texts*
*warm kitty joins me in bed, purring and cute, exit from bed is delayed
* finally struggles out from under the covers, slides on robe and slippers, walks like a zombie all the way down the hall and down a whole staircase*
6:15 am:
*sits down for breakfast, eats. Struggles to get back upstairs*
6:20 am:
*slowly picks out an outfit that is easy to slip on and somewhat stylish... just kidding not at all. Trudges into bathroom*
*washes face, brush teeth, applies makeup and does hair, etc.*
6:30 am:
*slowly gains enough energy to make a bed and organize my room a little, packs bag and checks for all homework*
6:40 am:
*Walks downstairs... packs bag for sports.... does all the last minute shizzz.*
6:50 am:
*Drags bags to the car, driven to school while sleeping the whole way there*
7:10 am:
*sighs. another long, long, long, long, boring school day. shuts car door, drags heels all the way to the front doors.*
So there is an extremely shortened version of how my mornings usually go down before school, as you can see I am usually the walking dead. In the morning, I don't engage in conversation or do last minute homework until about halfway through first period. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am not a morning person in any shape or form. In fact, the early mornings are my version of hell. If I go to bed early (9:30) then I'm still exhausted and if I go to bed late (the normal) then I am also tired. So indeed there is absolutely no happy medium, I am usually upset, stressed, half dead, or half sleeping around this time.
Daylight savings really is unnecessary and considering the fact it is too cold to farm in Utah, wouldn't it be easier if we just go without daylight savings. When you wake up that first morning of school and daylight savings has arrived (spring forward .... not a happy day for me) most people are about ready to protest and return to bed, curl up in a small ball and refuse to go this early. Daylight savings was originally created so the famers could do work on their farm and care for their animals during the daylight hours, but now days this is not as relevant to our society.

"Teens, diehard “night owls” and those with sleep disorders all struggle with waking up early and losing that extra hour of sleep. But sleep expert Kai-Florian Storch, a researcher with the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and McGill University, says there are a few things we can do to get better sleep, even with one less hour of it." Even though most people are on their own internal clock, this still has its ways of effecting the teens...
