As a result of Springing Forward / Daylight Savings, we will all lose an hour of sleep in the morning and gain an hour of sunlight in the evening...most people have no trouble making the shift. However, the truth of the matter is that our circadian rhythms send confusing signals to our brain during this one hour change.  Make the transition easier by following a few steps:

  1. Get your body immediately in the sun as soon as you wake up.
  2. Don't take anymore afternoon naps...this will help make you tired enough to fall asleep earlier in the evening.  
  3. Get some exercise during the day...it will help tire you...even just 30 minutes of walking.  
  4. Avoid alcohol or caffeine (or other such stimulants) 4-6 hours before bedtime.  
  5. Even before daylight savings, I used to have difficulty falling asleep at night so a friend recommended taking some melatonin (check with your doctor first) and I haven't had any issues since.
