Update: So our little daylight savings experiment worked, but the good news can only be applied to the waking up scenario. We still managed to go to bed at the same pre DLS time, which still decreased our restoritive sleep by an hour. Going to bed early, was really hard to do, especially when a good show was on (I blame you, Eli Stone).
However, we (or should I say, I) were much better off, than we were last year. I didn't feel like a menace to society with my sleep deprived driving.
Changes for the future: Practice going to bed early (that means you Eli).
