Clocks Spring Forward on Sunday… but should they? ⏰

Daylight Saving Time is back to mess with your sleep, your mood, and your driving skills. Studies show more accidents, heart attacks, and workplace errors for days after the time change, and for many weeks. Not good.

Be sleep-smart. Here are tips to help you survive the spring forward:

➡️ Power nap wisely — Take short 20-30 minute naps only. Set your alarm to get up. Avoid naps altogether if you have insomnia.
