Daylight Savings is a rough time for all.

Think about it — people lose an hour of sleep, they're confused, they spend days trying to determine which clocks in their lives are displaying the correct time... it's a mess.

To remind people to turn clocks ahead an hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, the National Park Service shared a video on Facebook of a perplexed looking fox springing headfirst into the snow. And sadly, as Americans struggled to wake up on Sunday morning they realized they were no better than this unprepared little fox.

After wiping their sleepy eyes and realizing they'd just lost an hour of sleep, Twitter users logged onto the platform to engage in a Daylight Savings tradition: Complaining about how exhausted and annoyed they are.

We know it's hard to be optimistic about this when you're SO DAMN TIRED, but just remember now you get some extra daylight and it's time to change the batteries in your smoke detector again.
