The time change.

“I don’t have a cold, I don’t have Covid and I don’t have the flu, but I felt about as bad physically yesterday as possible when there is nothing definitively wrong with me. Other than the time change. It was just such an effort to get through the day. Does the time change affect anybody else this way?”
