While most of us appreciate the extra daylight--at the cost of an hours sleep, it can take a few days to adjust to the change.
Here a a few things you can do to reset your internal clock and counter act unwanted grogginess:
- Wake up about 15 minutes earlier each day. This will allow your body to adjust a little at a time instead of all at once.
- Don't sleep in on the day after the change.
- When it's time for bed, avoid bright indoor lights. This means TVs and computer monitors.
- Avoid large meals, alcohol and caffeine close to bedtime.
