You will need to set your clock forward an hour before heading to bed this Saturday night as we return to Daylight Saving Time. For some people, it’ll be a very tough adjustment to lose an hour of sleep. Doctor Stephen Grant is a board-certified sleep physician at Iowa Sleep, which specializes in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Dr. Grant says most of his patients get six to seven hours of sleep a night.
One technique which he suggests may help make losing an hour of sleep less difficult is to gradually ease into the time change.
This is Sleep Awareness Week. A new poll from the National Sleep Foundation finds pain, stress and poor health all correlate to shorter sleep durations and worse sleep quality for millions of Americans.
