The time change was not so difficult this time. I intentionally stayed up an hour longer than usual.
Another practice is taking a nap at noon listening to a favorite music program on public radio. I commonly sleep for 10-20 minutes and other times just listen. It is a routine I practice a build into my day.

You realize you lost an hour with the time change, not gained one, staying up an extra hour means you lost two!
Daylight saving time has started. Here's how to adjust
The time change can be hard on our health. There are more car accidents, strokes and heart attacks this week. People eat more junk food and have more migraines. Here's why — plus tips to help you adapt.

"You get acclimated to a way of being, and then all of a sudden the sky is a different color, and you have to still function in the normal way," said Lucas.
And it's not always easy to keep functioning normally. In fact, most sleep researchers and clinicians say that the spring-forward time change is bad for our health.
In the days following the time change, the country sees a higher incidence of car accidents, strokes and heart attacks.
There are more fatal overdoses and suicides. People suffer more migraines and are at greater risk of getting injured at work.
One study even found that IVF patients were more likely to experience a spontaneous pregnancy loss, though only if they'd previously miscarried.
These findings make sense to Brant Hasler, a sleep and circadian researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. He says when clocks jump forward, it disrupts not just our sleep but also our circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm exists in almost every cell of the body. Hasler likens it to an orchestra of clocks, with the conductor directing from the hypothalamus, a small region within the center of the brain. This clock orchestra not only determines when we sleep but also regulates our metabolism, body temperature, our emotions, aspects of cognition and several hormones.
And switching from standard to daylight saving time throws our clocks out of tune, much like jet lag, making us irritable and tired.

Maybe you should take on Tai Chi classes, and you'll become a kung fu master, IF, Jack Black approves

Not so much of a rant as an observation. The neighbor walks their dogs down the road to defecate in their neighbor's yards. While they always pick up the excrement, why don't they allow their dogs to do their business in their yards? Curious minds want to know.

You can't decide for the dog where it will poop.
My dog will conduct her business in our back garden or out on a walk, anytime anywhere. She's easy.
Some dogs are particular, especially about where they will not do it, i.e. their own garden.

There is also a theory that they like to be North/South, why I dunno.
I was also advised to turn my bed North/South to get a better nights sleep, that worked too.
