Feeling extra tired since the clocks changed?

[faithfulbird20]

Anyone else? 5pm and I feel like I want to sleep

Yes I have been using an SAD lamp and thinking of restarting the Vitamin D.

I'm struggling too.

Yep it gets dark and I'm straight into my pj's and can't be bothered to do anything.

Last night it got to about 7pm and I could have sworn it was about 11pm

Yes. Echoing the comments up thread - get a SAD lamp!

Yes have been really suffering this year

Me too. 7pm feels like 11pm now.

I tend to head to bed and read by about 8.

I thought it was just me, this year feels extra dark.

Yes definitely and my sleeping patterns have been dreadful

Absolutely. I feel like a squirrel. I just want to hide food in my bed and hibernate.

I agree completely. Find myself having to get up extra early, so I have all the daylight hours to do everything I need to do. Once 4pm hits, my energy and motivation fades with the light and I'm going nowhere/doing nothing except snack

I've used a SAD lamp and white lighbulbs for years, but I still don't do well in winter.

I shower then go into bed around 7:30pm with a cuppa and some snacks and watch movies or browse the internet.

I shower in the morning to wake me up, or I've just started swimming which helps.
I don't mind going to bed early.

Me too As soon as it gets dark, it's like a light switches off in my head, and I can't wait to get into bed

I feel the same. I’m also really struggling to get up in the mornings.

To echo everyone else, sad light is an essential for me and I take vitamin d year round.

I've really struggled to adjust this year too.
I'm usually ok but this year has hit me hard.
Might follow some suggestions above with the vitamin D and SAD lamp.

Me as well. I've just started vitamin D., cross fingers it helps
