Daffodils are blooming, temperatures are rising, days are lengthening \u2014 all sure signs of spring. But another, less welcome change is afoot: At 2 a.m. on Sunday, most people in the United States will \u201cspring\u201d their clocks forward by one hour.<\/p>\n

For many of us, this transition is more difficult than it is when we \u201cfall back\u201d in autumn, in part because we lose an hour of sleep, said Dr. Rachel Ziegler, a sleep medicine physician at the Mayo Clinic Health System in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut really, it\u2019s much more than that,\u201d she said, because the clock change also shifts the timing of sunrise and sunset. After we spring forward, the mornings will be darker and the evenings will be lighter, making it more challenging to both wake up and fall asleep.<\/p>\n

In fact, this can create a monthslong mismatch between our internal clocks and our school and work schedules, leaving many people chronically short on sleep, said Dr. James Rowley, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. This is why the organization supports the elimination of daylight saving time<\/a> altogether, he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
