Yet, with all of my disgust and animosity toward the fall time shift, there is an upside. The extra few minutes of sunlight in the mornings do help wake me up, and that’s a good thing. It helps me rise and shine — or try to shine.

Look, I understand the reasons and rationale for this whole “Daylight Saving Time” foolishness. But in an age when we have smartphones that can tell us tomorrow’s weather down to the minute, selfdriving cars, and pizza-delivering robots, perhaps it’s time to admit that manually changing our relationship with the sun twice a year isn’t the most sophisticated approach to modern life.

Until then, I’ll be here, checking my clock every five minutes, wondering if it’s too early to put on my pajamas, and dreaming of those glorious spring days when we’ll “spring forward,” and move our clocks in the other direction.
