We gained an extra hour recently with Daylight Savings here in the U.S. which can be a life changing event for many of us suffering from RLS.  Our bodies don't automatically jump ahead or behind an hour like the clock does, and it can take a few weeks to adjust to the time change.

For me it means I take my Requip pills an hour earlier than normal in the fall, and an hour later in the spring.  I usually take my first dose at around noon, which meant I had to switch to 11 a.m. last fall when we fell back an hour for Daylight Savings, and then another every four hours until my 10 p.m. dose before bed. 

My last evening dose is a whopping 3 mg of Requip, which leaves me feeling very drowsy within an hour. I didn't start going to bed an hour earlier however, so that left me struggling to stay awake on dinner dates with my wife or friends.

I always look forward to the "spring forward" Daylight Savings change because the situation is reversed.  I can take my meds an hour later than normal and still be in sync with my body's time schedule.  I can stay up an hour later without feeling drowsy too, which came in handy this last weekend when my wife and I had dinner with a couple friends and stayed out until about 10:30 p.m.

How pronounced is your reaction to the recent time change?
