Adjusting to Daylight Saving Time
(KTNC) -- Many people may find themselves dragging early this week following the change to Daylight Saving Time over the weekend.
Mike Gremmer of the staffing service Robert Half says while we spring ahead and fall back every year, it’s always tough for some people to lose an hour of sleep.
Studies find that productivity in most lines of work can suffer for several days after a time change. One report estimates the twice-a-year changes cost the nation one-point-seven billion dollars in lost productivity.
If you’re a bit bleary-eyed, Gremmer suggests it may help if you look at the critical, most time-sensitive tasks and make a to-do list of priorities. He says to try and get to bed earlier, eat a good breakfast, limit the amount of sugar intake in favor of protein and whole gran, and stay hydrated.
It may take several days for our bodies to adjust to the time change. One study finds our risk of having a car accident will rise about six-percent Monday and Tuesday because some of us aren’t coping well with the lost hour of sleep.
