Daylight Saving Time is this weekend and we are LOSING an hour of sleep.
So how can you prep your body for the time change? There are a few things you can do:
- Gradually adjust your schedule- start going to bed earlier, roughly 15-20 minutes each day
- Sleep well beforehand- If you are already behind on sleep you are going to be even more tired, so don't stay up later than you normally do. Make sure you are getting adequate sleep before the time change.
- If necessary, take a short nap to catch back up on sleep.
- Eat a healthy diet
Don't forget to set your clocks forward before you go to bed!
