With Daylight Saving Time, everyone stands the risk of trying to "steal" another hour of sleep...affecting you for several days! The National Sleep Foundation suggests steps you can take to minimize the loss and still feel refreshed. Here are a few simple SLEEP RULES that can help:
-Be sure to adjust your clocks on the day before the change. Many of our clocks update automatically, but don't forget the ones that don't.
-Do your best to still get a complete nights rest Saturday into Sunday.
-Go to bed an hour "earlier" on Saturday, and fight the urge to grab that "extra" hour.
-Plan to get up at what would have been your "normal" on on the first day of daylight-saving time, no matter what the clock says.
-You will want to, but don't nap on Sunday! Even if you sometimes do :)
-Go to bed on Sunday at what would have been your normal bedtime, you'll thank yourself Monday morning for not feeling sleep deprived!
Don't just reset your clock this weekend, reset your way of handling Daylight Saving Time...and look forward to a well rested Springtime.
