SPRING FORWARD 🕑 DaylightSavingTime starts this weekend. How do you reduce time-change sleepiness due to ‘losing’ one hour of sleep? Here are some tips to help -
Because our bodies are set to go to sleep at the same time every night, and wake at the same time every morning, the hour shift that is associated with daylight saving can be disruptive to our sleep.1. How to adjust
Split the difference from the time you, or your children, go to sleep and the new time you’re adjusting to, says sleep expertStart preparing a few days early. About a week before “springing forward,” start going to bed 15 to 30 minutes earlier than your usual bedtime. Your body needs that bit of extra time to make up for the lost hour.4. Don’t take long naps
Shutting your eyes is tempting, especially if you’re feeling sluggish. But avoiding naps is key for adjusting to the time change, as long daytime naps could make it harder for you to get a full night’s sleep. “If you have to take them, take them early and for no longer than 20 minutes,” says sleep specialistPut down coffee and caffeinated beverages four to six hours before bedtime. Alcohol also prevents you from getting quality sleep, so avoid it late at night.
