I realized one reason why I was out of sorts last Sunday / Monday was the time change. I am a morning person and a creature of habit, and staying in bed for an extra hour in the morning isn't the treat for me that it is for most people. When I get on a schedule I like to stay on it.
That includes doing my morning business. I like to get up at 5, and have my bravo-mike promptly at 6. (I'm, well, anal about that.) So when the clock falls back, I can lie in bed until the new-and-improved five o'clock, but my body thinks it's six, and wonders why I haven't turned on the lights and had my coffee already. I'm still snoozing when I should be pooping.
So I've compromised and split the difference, setting my alarm back to 4:30, which seems to be working. Once I'm back to my regular schedule - with the emphasis on "regular" - I can think a lot more clearly.
