If you haven't been keeping track of time, we're changing our clocks this weekend — back an hour — which means we're losing an hour of daylight, but we're gaining an hour of sleep! There's no denying that walking home from work in the dark is a total bummer, but think of all the things you can do with that extra hour! My friends at The Frisky came up with 25 suggestions and I wanted to share five of them with you, and offer a few of my own, too! Check out their recommendations below:
- Sleep off your Halloween hangover
- Hit the post-Halloween candy sale at Rite-Aid
- Get in touch with your inner self
- Make a batch of oatmeal cookies
- Do like Oprah and make a vision board
If you want to see my five suggestions of what you can do with the extra hour, just read more.
- Jump-start your exercise routine before the holidays come
- Organize your closet and donate your giveaways to charity
- Catch up on all the movies you missed this Summer
- Pick up a new hobby
- Winter-proof your home — load up on hot cocoa, logs for the fireplace, and decorate with pumpkins and cornucopias
What do you plan on doing with that extra hour?

all the movies or 1/2 of a movie? it's only an hour!
1sleep! lmao
2sleep.
3sleeping sounds good...can we start it early?
4I'm just happy we get an extra hr of sleep at least for one night anyways.
5"all the movies or 1/2 of a movie? it's only an hour!"
My thoughts exactly. And "pick up a new hobby"? Um, great advice, guys...
6my new hobby..to sleep for an extra hour!
7I hate how dark it gets so early, it makes me not want to do anything after I get home..and we used to play over an hour of tennis after work!
arrgg..this is depressing
8ok ok I'll take up eating all that halloween candy on sale at Rite Aid..hmm Reeses time
9I agree Marni, the time change sends me into a major depression. UGH, it sucks! It takes weeks to get used to and get over it.
10sleep, buy post-halloween candy, amp up my workouts (counterproductive, but I didn't buy any bags of candy yet so I don't care), taking up a new hobby sounds nice.
11i always get super depressed the first week when it gets dark early
12sleep! sleep! sleep!
13I kind of miss daylight savings time. When I was younger, I always liked changing the clocks
Here in AZ, we just keep it the same.
14Sleep!!! And buy candy. haha. I'm going to Rite Aid tomorrow...
15I hate when it gets dark so early, too. I get off at 7 and when it's already pitch black my mind thinks it's much later in the night and I don't get as much done.
16I like that last idea. Mmmm, hot cocoa.
17I'm gonna go with the majority and sleep in. Lol.
18i think that i'm going to take Fit's suggestion and use the extra hour in the gym. instead of going for just 1 hour, i'm going to make the best of it and go earlier in the morning and workout longer. i think that it's probably the most effective use that i can think of.
19I live in AZ, so no time change here. But when I lived in NC I slept and it always made me so depressed because it got dark so early.
