It’s that time of year again!
It’s best to set your clock ahead one hour before you go to bed Saturday night. We switch to Daylight saving time at 2 a.m. on Sunday, meaning we lose an hour of sleep.
Car crashes increase by 8% after the spring time change. Nutritionist Ashley Koff says you should stay away from coffee as a means to adjust. “Energy comes from food it comes from a nutrient balance of carbohydrate, protein and healthy fats.” Koff says.
A healthy breakfast could consist of waffles and peanut butter to give you an extra boost of energy.
Kids find the change hard too, Dr. Shelly Weiss, a pediatric sleep expert, says youngsters can be thrown off for as much as a week.
This is also the weekend you are being reminded to change the batteries in your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector.
Daylight saving time ends November 3, 2013.
