Be sure to mark your calendar for Daylight Saving Time on March 11 and spring your clock forward one hour…but don’t lose sleep over it!
The annual “spring forward” event can cause sleep disruptions for both children and adults. By making a few lifestyle changes, most people can minimize sleep loss and achieve the sleep that is needed to feel alert, refreshed and ready to take on the day.
For children:
• Maintain your child’s regular sleep, wake and nap times. Try not to compensate for the lost hour by delaying bedtime or allowing your child to sleep in.
• Make gradual adjustments. Some parents find it is best to try to start making adjustments on Saturday night rather than wait until Sunday (a school night).
For adults:
• Try to sleep more than usual a few nights prior to and immediately following the time change.
• Take a nap in the afternoon on Sunday if you need it, but not within a few hours of your regular bedtime.
