ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 12 (UPI) -- An expert on sleep disorders says U.S. residents should prepare for the switch to daylight saving time when they lose an hour of sleep.
The clocks jump ahead one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday. Dr. Ronald Chervin suggests the public should start adjust their sleeping habits ahead of time. Chervin is the director of the Sleep Disorders Clinic at the University of Michigan.
"Being prepared is important, especially if you need to be alert that day for any reason, particularly driving a car," Chervin said. "Even one hour of sleep loss can affect some people."
Chervin recommends gradually going to bed 15 minutes earlier during the few days before the changeover. Those likely to react badly to the lost hour still have two nights to get ready.
