Going to bed early could help mitigate the negative effects of daylight saving time, according to health experts.
People will lose an hour of sleep when clocks move ahead Sunday at 2 a.m. This change throws off sleep schedules and causes a sense of grogginess that can last for days.
"By losing an hour of sleep, the rhythm of a lot of body systems is thrown off. So, it’s almost like you feel like you've had jetlag,” said Dr. Rajan Sadagopal K. Subbiah.
Experts recommend going to sleep 15 to 20 minutes earlier than usual.
Limiting screen time at night can also help the body adjust to the time change.
