Last year, for the first time, I noticed that the "fall back" change was as hard as the "spring forward". I've been retired for a few years, so I don't really lose sleep for the spring change. It's the change in schedule itself that throws me off, I guess.
The change in the schedule throws me off too. I am also retired and every time change knocks me for a loop for about the first few weeks. I'm an early riser no matter what the change is, but still, it seems to be an internal timing. The older I get the more I notice it. Then, by the time I really get used to the 'time change' it's time to change it again, and the loop starts all over again.
