End of Daylight Savings Time: Essential Oils to the Rescue Amy Smith, September 27, 2023September 27, 2023 Essential Oils to Have on Hand for the End of Daylight Savings Time Tired of feeling like a zombie when Daylight Savings Time ends? Fear no more because I’ve got the secret weapon you need to survive the time-change madness. Forget about extra sleep or chugging gallons of coffee – all you need are three little bottles of Young Living oils. En-R-Gee to jumpstart your energy levels, Lavender to lull you into a peaceful slumber, and Peace & Calming to ward off any lingering stress from losing that precious hour of daylight. Say goodbye to groggy mornings and hello to blissful evenings, all thanks to these magical elixirs. The concept and purpose of Daylight Savings Time Ah, Daylight Savings Time. That biannual tradition where we all become amateur clock adjusters and begrudgingly give up an hour of precious sleep. But behind the groans and yawns lies a fascinating concept and purpose. The idea originally surfaced as a way to make better use of daylight during the summer months. By shifting our clocks ahead by an hour, we extend the evening daylight hours. This means more time for outdoor activities, less need for artificial lighting, and potentially even energy savings. But is it really worth it? Some argue that the benefits are questionable at best. Sure, we gain that precious extra hour of sunlight in the evenings, but what about the darkness that descends upon us in the morning? Waking up to a pitch-black sky can be quite a aggravating, especially for those who aren’t exactly ‘morning people.’ Not to mention the havoc it wreaks on our carefully crafted sleep schedules. Love it or hate it, Daylight Savings Time continues to be a topic of debate year after year. Whether you see it as an ingenious way to maximize sunshine or as an unnecessary disruption to our internal clocks, there’s no denying its impact on society (and our collective grumpiness come Monday morning). So next time you find yourself adjusting your clocks forward or backward, remember that behind this seemingly arbitrary tradition lies a centuries-old attempt to bend time itself – even if only by an hour.

As if by magic, those precious minutes seem to erase all traces of our accumulated sleep debt, leaving us feeling recharged and ready to take on the world. But let’s not get too carried away with this newfound freedom – because, as every witty observer knows, with the end of daylight savings time comes the onset of darkness. Yes, dear reader, brace yourself for those early sunsets and seemingly eternal evenings. Suddenly, it feels like Mother Nature has taken out her artistic paintbrush and sprinkled generous amounts of black ink across our sky. Gone are the days when we could enjoy leisurely walks or spontaneous outdoor activities once work was done. Instead, we find ourselves bundled up inside our cocoons, seeking solace in Netflix marathons and comfort foods as we hibernate until spring returns. Oh, but fear not! For even in these dark times lie opportunities for revelry – Halloween parties that stretch into late-night mischief-making without worry about having to wake up an hour earlier the next day; cozy candlelit dinners that foster intimate conversations while winter winds howl outside; stargazing escapades under velvet skies adorned with constellations so vivid they could inspire poetry or awe-struck exclamations alike. So let us embrace this shift in time and focus on extracting joy from what may initially seem like an inconvenience. After all, life is too short to be constantly lamenting about the changing seasons and the passage of time. Instead, let us find beauty in every moment, whether it is the vibrant colors of autumn leaves or the peaceful stillness that blankets a snowy landscape. Let us gather with loved ones around crackling fires, sharing stories and laughter as we create memories that will warm our hearts long after winter has melted away.
