Each year our family braces for the impact of time change on both my wife and I and our kids. It takes weeks to get back to 'normal'. Light/dark/whatever... it'

  The real problem is something that a Daylight/Standard time shift can't really fix anyway. If you are far enough north (and it's really only north, because there isn't that much population in comparable latitudes south), you're going to have a wild differential between the length of the day in winter and in summer. In a month, I'll be down to about eight hours of daylight, and in June, I have sixteen hours. That's tough, and there isn't really any way around it, short of bagging the rigid clock-bound schedule that the modern world runs on and reverting, and I don't hold out any hope of that ever happening. So you just have to trudge along and stock up on Vitamin D supplements.

  How do deal with traveling across different time zones, this is basically the same thing?

    I've found that traveling is distinctly different (within the United States) because the sun is still coming up at approximately the same local hour. Of course this can vary by more than an hour if you travel between opposite edges of a time zone, but somehow traveling is also less jarring to me than the DST shift.
