The clocks will “spring forward” on Sunday, March 10, meaning we lose an hour of sleep. Experts share three tips to make the transition easier on your body.
Daylight saving time stirs up a lot of mixed feelings: You’ll kiss the dreary winter darkness goodbye —but you’ll also lose an hour of precious sleep when the clocks spring forward at 2 a.m. on March 10. And this can really screw with your system for a bit. As the time shifts, you’re “shifting your natural, biological clock” with it, Kuljeet K. Gill, MD, a sleep medicine specialist at Northwestern Medicine’s Central DuPage Hospital, tells SELF.
And if you’re tempted to “rest your eyes” in the afternoons, heed this warning from Dr. Gill: “No naps.” Otherwise, you might have trouble drifting off later, which will only keep your sleep schedule messed up for longer. Bask in some morning light. Getting a strong dose of sunlight after you get out of bed is one of the best things you can do to stabilize your circadian rhythms, as it “stimulates your brain and shuts off melatonin production,” Dr. Gill explains.
