Daylight saving time has started. Here's how to adjust

NPR  

Daylight saving time has started. Therefore, some sleep even later during daylight saving compared to standard, says Dr. Indira Gurubhagavatula, who specializes in sleep medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Sponsor Message "Most people in the U.S. are already sleep-deprived, which makes the sudden loss of one more hour of sleep particularly painful," she says. Daylight saving time is contrary to hundreds of thousands of years of human biology, as we evolved to wake with the sun, and go to sleep when it gets dark, Hasler says. The time change affects everyone, though it disrupts some more than others, says Allison Harvey, who runs a sleep and mood research clinic at the University of California, Berkeley.
