I’ve never been a fan of our twice-annual time change, in and out of daylight savings time. My perspective is to pick a time and stick with it.
This is in part because of the hassle of resetting clocks, but also because it takes my body about a week to fully adjust.
I also struggle with jet lag after traveling. That, too, takes a few days for my body to recover.
This past weekend, I was able to experience both, the switch to daylight savings time Sunday morning and an airplane flight, spanning two time zones, Sunday afternoon.
I think that the first partially offset the second. But then there was the return trip, from which I am in recovery from the jet lag.
Even so, dealing with the adjustment to daylight savings time simultaneously with jet lag, is better than dealing with them on separate occasions.
