We changed time on Sunday, and by today we found that we'd adjusted to the half hour difference that we'd imposed on ourselves prior to the time change. That seemed to make the transition much easier. The problem with staying a half-hour "behind" during DST is that we ran the risk of missing appointments, etc., if we didn't remind ourselves that we were a half hour earlier.
In November, if we change time again, we're going to try to stay within the half hour for the 4 months of "winter time". Being a half-hour later is easier to adjust to, it seems.
All in all, a fun experiment. It's easier to do now that we're retired, but it may be helpful for families, as well, to make the adjustment easier during the time change transition.
