Daylight saving time begins Sunday at 2:00 a.m., wiping out an hour of sleep in most of the U.S. Studies associate the change with an increase in traffic accidents and heart attacks.
There are ways to make it easier to adapt, such as getting more sun to help reset your circadian rhythm and get healthy sleep. Go to bed a little earlier on Friday and Saturday nights, and try to get more light in the morning. Experts advise bringing forward daily routines such as dinner time or exercising, so the body begins to adapt to an earlier bedtime.
