TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Students across Troy’s campus are adjusting to new schedules thanks to Daylight Saving Time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to rewind the clock! It has been nearly two weeks since clocks jumped back an hour. Some students say they were able catch up on well-needed sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, daylight saving, it really helps a lot, especially because you get an extra hour of sleep,” said student Nathaniel Pitt. “At this point in the semester, right after midterms, it’s probably the best time to be able to catch up on sleep after cramming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI enjoy it,” student Morgan Mason said. “I don’t truly care about it getting dark earlier as long as I get the extra asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it may not seem like much of an issue, time changes can add many different stressors and hurdles, including sleep irregularities, disruption in schedules and anxiety. Some students, however, are finding positive effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s made it a lot easier for me to catch sleep,” Pitt told TrojanVision. “That was a little bit of a struggle that I was I was dealing with, first part of the semester, but it’s kind of helped me just determine, ‘Hey, inner clock’s telling me it’s time for bed, even though it’s a lot later than it says it is.’ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So I’m able to get to bed earlier than I was and get a little more sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt actually did me more good, because I’m able to get up earlier,” Mason said. “Well, better than I did before, and make it to class on time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change also sparks many debates on whether it should be continued or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI honestly don’t see a point in Daylight Saving Time, so I would say get rid of it,” said student Elijah Turman. “As that can be like, an easier way of us just to stay accustomed to the time and we won\u2019t have to change our schedule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think, keep it how it is,” Pitt countered. “I mean, it’s been it’s been this way for so long. I mean, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
