Early Darkness

I noticed that even though it is only a few minutes past five o'clock in the afternoon, since changing to daylight savings time, it's getting dark already. Fall season here in the north has short days and long nights. During the spring and summer seasons I usually get up from bed at around eight or nine o'clock in the morning. At this time of the year, around seven o'clock in the morning, I'm up already and I feel like I am well rested. My hubby and I usually go to bed at ten or eleven o'clock in the evening after watching programs on television.
