Don’t Forget To Set Your Clocks Forward on Sunday

Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend. Remember to set your clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 10.  Daylight Saving time takes place at 2 a.m. central standard time.

While “springing forward” means a loss hour of sleep that may cause some people to feel sluggish on Sunday and Monday, most will quickly adjust.

However, for a significant number of Americans, losing just one hour of sleep and having to wake up when the timing of your biological clock has not yet adjusted can affect performance and safety.

To prepare for the time change, Northwestern Medicine neurologist Hrayr Attarian, MD, recommends going to sleep earlier on Saturday and Sunday night, and getting exposure to bright outdoor or indoor light in the morning, which will help acclimate your body’s clock to the new time.

Attarian also reminds people that Daylight Saving is not the only time when it’s important to focus on sleep regimen. Prolonged sleep problems have been associated with high blood pressure, weight gain and trouble with memory and learning.
