Daylight saving time ends this Sunday, so don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour.
Many people think they'll get an extra hour of sleep, but experts say that’s not true. “All we are doing is basically shifting the clock,” said Dr. Vaishal Shah, a sleep specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.
There are fewer harmful effects during the fall transition than the spring, but people still report experiencing poorer sleep and feeling groggy for days after falling back.
One tip to remember is to start adjusting now. Prior to the time change, go to bed 15 minutes later. Then the next day, 15 minutes later than that. It helps the body make a smoother transition.
Follow the link for more tips to help you adjust to the time change. |

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
