Clock going forward

So why is it that it takes a couple days after the clocks going forward, and loosing that hour of sleep, for me to have trouble getting up. This morning it was dark outside, and when the alarm went off I was so close to turning it off and going back to sleep. I was fine On Sunday and Monday mornings.

@SW-User 13 months of 28 days and 1 day of rest (today?)

@gol979 We'd still need cater for the Leap Year. Two days of rest in each 4th year?

@SW-User The only "flaw" I see is the uneven lengths of months, but please, let's keep it that way!

The world is already full of bureaucratic types wanting to road-roller everything into database-tidy "standardisation" and "harmonisation", replace quirky but harmless names with bland numbers, fit people into official categories, enforce fewer choices of goods and services, etc., etc... without us encouraging them!

Our bodies can usually adjust themselves easily enough if we let them, but many of us live very artificial lives that hinder such processes.
