On March 9, it's time to “spring forward” an hour to switch to daylight saving time. While this gives us a chance to enjoy more sunshine at the end of the day, the springtime change is more disruptive than the fall because we lose an hour of sleep. There are many studies about the time change and how it affects productivity. We’re less productive at work, kids have trouble at school, and there are increased car accidents for several days after the time change because people are tired.”
There are steps people can take to prepare themselves and their children for the change in their sleep schedule, but they need to start early.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine advises slowly adjusting your schedule by going to bed 15-20 minutes earlier each day. The timing of other daily activities, such as meals and exercise, can also be gradually adjusted forward.
