We finally get that extra hour of sleep back, but that's just a trap that makes our bodies believe we require a lot more sleep the colder it gets. It's when we see less sun, have to dress in more layers and have the tempting urge to hold off on our to-do lists until the last minute.

Here are 5 other reasons we're bothered by daylight savings:

1. It's dark all the time.

The older I get the more I wish I could hibernate all winter, too. Going into work in the morning when it's still dark out, and getting out when the sun has already set for the night is possibly one of the most depressing notions of winter. I'd rather crawl into bed instead.

2. The sun is out less, which means it's getting colder.

The cold will sneak up on us all no matter what region we're in, it just takes longer for some states to get hit with the full effect. But no matter where you are, when the sun goes down, so does your motive to spend time outdoors.

3. You forget to change your clocks.

When you think you're perfectly on time to be somewhere, then get in the car and have a minor heart attack because all of a sudden you think it got SO much later out of NOWHERE, but in reality, you just forgot to change your clocks ahead.

4. You always think it's much later than it is.

It's when you get home after a long day at 6 p.m. and think it's too late for dinner, me-time, or the occasional Netflix binge when in reality you have enough time for all three. The cruel reality of seemingly eternal darkness always leads back to the tempting opportunity to sleep.

5. It makes us less productive

The darkness alone is enough to make me put off my never-ending to-do list, but mix that with the cold? Hot coco and a Christmas movie sound a lot more inviting than any type of work or physical activity.
