Spring Ahead
On Sunday, March 12th don’t forget to spring your clocks forward! You may find your body struggle to keep up with the time change — even losing just one hour sleep can have a negative impact on our bodies and minds.
Here are a few ways to prepare for a smooth and well-rested transition:
💤 Go to bed early tonight — even if it’s just by 15-30 minutes. On Saturday night, increase that extra time by an additional 15-30 minutes. This will help you ease into the time change
💤 If you feel sleepy on Sunday, allow yourself to take a short nap in the early afternoon. Avoid taking a nap close to bedtime, which may confuse your sleep patterns
💤 Resist the urge to sleep in on Sunday to make up the lost hour
Remember: it’s common to feel side effects of time changes. However, if you notice you have regular sleep issues or concerns, talk to your family doctor.
