Losing an hour of sleep on Sunday morning.

So everyone's probably familiar with this.

Each year, as a clock spring forward, we lose an hour of sleep.

And what that happens is that basically you're losing hours sleep.

But you're also asked to get up and move around at the time.

Your body is not ready to start the day.

That causes a lot of health effects, including a 10 to 15% increase in heart attacks as well as a 6% increase in car accident.

So there is an impact on health and safety that happens every year.

Yeah.

I mean, it's something that we we can all say that we dread.

Are there some things that we can d'oh leading up to it Maybe to kind of like ease that transition that will help?

Absolutely.

So basically, you should pre shift if you can. 00:00:55.420 --> 00:01:3.250 I mean the number one thing that I think about is just getting to bed on time on the weekend and not sleeping in too much, because then it makes that morning on Monday morning. 00:01:3.250 --> 00:01:4.510 Not quite so painful. 00:01:5.740 --> 00:01:7.660 How long did it take for most of us to adjust? 00:01:7.670 --> 00:01:8.750 I mean, is it by Monday? 00:01:8.750 --> 00:01:12.810 Are we good to go, or does it take some time to kind of, like, get in the new flow of things?

It can really take about a week for most adults.

So just certainly at least three days to get into the swing of things.

But actually, they found in infants and toddlers that can take up to a month, which, you know, parents might be thinking is on.

Their head is not in their heads.

Some kids take a really long time to adjust.

Of course, my kids are excited to get up there like Come on, Mom.

Dad was like, five.

Okay, this kind of worries me.

Well, I work the morning shift, and I already don't get a whole lot of sleep.

So then you compound that with, you know, the time change here.

What do you recommend?

I mean, you've laid out some really good tips.

I just need to follow the federally thought. 00:01:50.440 --> 00:02:1.260 The best thing to do would really to go 15 minutes at a time to move your bedtime back gradually versus doing one hour and one chunk, if you can make it small, doesn't seem like a lot. 00:02:1.260 --> 00:02:5.350 But that one hour especially wake up early normally like that makes him whose difference. 00:02:5.470 --> 00:02:14.590 It's probably more than one hour for most people, though, because over the weekend, if you stay up another hour or two and then you lose that hour, that actually is like going from New York to L.

A.

And back.

Really, it's It's a major shift and, you know, you would feel tired after that, right?

I would definitely make an impact.

So, sure, it's basically jetlag without traffic, like without the trail.

Exactly.

Way Well, we appreciate you coming in, Dr Kelly Glaser, Baron.

And, uh, good luck to all of us.

Navigate this time change.

Appreciate the tips.

Extra daylight's nice, but the loss of sleep is not nice.
