  • Dr. Celina Moore, a pediatrician with the Palm Beach Health Network, said it's best practice to ease into a new bedtime by 10 to 15 minutes each day leading up to Daylight Savings Time.

The article on MSN provides advice from Dr. David Buchholz, a local physician, on how to adjust to the time change associated with Daylight Saving Time. Dr. Buchholz suggests several strategies to ease the transition: gradually shifting sleep schedules a few days before the change, ensuring exposure to natural light in the morning to help reset the body's internal clock, and avoiding caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime. He also recommends maintaining a consistent sleep routine, even on weekends, to help the body adapt more smoothly. Additionally, he advises on the importance of good sleep hygiene, like keeping the bedroom dark, cool, and quiet, and limiting screen time before bed to improve sleep quality during the adjustment period.
