Day Light Savings

Time to Spring Ahead this weekend! I know, I don’t look forward to it either - no one likes losing an hour of sleep. But looking on the BRIGHT side, we do get some extra time in the sun. Soak up some extra sunlight Sunday morning, preferably combined with some physical activity like taking a walk. Both the light in the morning and the exercise will help you fall asleep better that night, despite the time difference.

If you are very sensitive to disturbances in sleep schedules, start now - try going to bed 15 minutes early each night leading up until Saturday. This might help out with kids too!

Be extra strict with your sleep hygiene right now - avoid caffeine in the afternoon, eat dinner at least a few hours before bed, and limit your screen time as well.

Luckily most devices that tell time update automatically these days, but for anything that doesn’t, especially like bedside alarm clocks, change the time as you are going to bed Saturday to avoid confusion when you wake up.

Mostly though, keep in mind that day light savings is just another signal that SPRING IS ON THE WAY!
