Daylight Saving Time

Get ready to feel a little more tired Sunday morning. At 2 a.m. most of North America will “spring forward” one hour into daylight saving time.

While the time instantly jumps ahead, it can often take our body clocks longer to adjust. Health officials often say that many people aren’t getting enough sleep to begin with. Factoring in the new work week after the time change only adds to the challenge.

Then, there’s data from a Stanford University study that found an increase in car crashes the Monday after the clock change. Other research says there’s an uptick in heart attacks.

Experts say the beginning of daylight saving time is a good time to reset sleep habits, to try to get a recommended seven to eight hours a night and be careful tomorrow.
