The biggest challenge during daylight saving time comes in the mornings. 'Your body is going to want to sleep longer,' said Dr. Gary Levinson, a sleep physician with Sharp Health. 'So the key to that is trying to get natural light into your room sooner.'
The change to daylight saving time happens early Sunday morning, but health officials say it takes some adjustment, and it's best to get a head start.
"You want to try to start going to sleep a little earlier. Voluntarily a few days ahead of time ... maybe go to sleep 15 minutes earlier every night," said Dr. Gary Levinson, a sleep physician with Sharp Health.AdvertisementClear your mind before bedtime. Make a to-do list early in the evening, so you won’t stay awake worrying about the next day.
Create a healthy sleep environment. Make sure your bed and pillows are comfortable, turn down the lights, avoid distracting sounds and keep the room at a comfortable temperature.Avoid using electronic devices right before bed. Unless you have the intensity down and blue light filters on, any other relaxing activity — yoga, deep breathing, listening to music — is preferable."Your body is going to want to sleep longer," he said.
"They might get grumpy when they show up to an empty food dish at their regular dinner time. We look at the clock and try to take the dog for a walk at the regular time, but to the dog, it’s an hour early," he said."By the time you get home, the dog is ready to go on another walk because now it’s walk time."Give them lots of reassurance that everything is okay.He said moving up feeding and walking times as we get closer to the time change will also help our animals.
While voters opted to keep daylight saving time year-round in 2018, Congress has yet to make it official.Tags
