Daylight saving time begins on Sunday, March 12, at 2 a.m. CU Boulder Professor and sleep expert Kenneth Wright says if you struggle with the time change, you're not alone. He says people can gradually shift their internal clock earlier by dimming the lights in their homes on Friday night a few hours before bedtime. When they awaken Saturday morning, they should get as much sunlight exposure as possible, perhaps starting the day with a walk outside. In addition, they can go to bed 30 minutes earlier on Saturday and Sunday, Wright says. This gradual shift should allow people to get more sleep during the daylight saving time change and awaken at a time that is better aligned with their internal clocks.
