Adjusting Your Kids to Daylight Saving Time

Time to change those clocks again — this morning, at 2:00 a.m., daylight saving time began.

How Daylight Saving Time Affects Your Sleep

This weekend marks the beginning of daylight saving time, when we jump forward an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday morning. The good news is that we have Sunday to acclimate to the change before the start of the workweek, but the bad news is that our internal clock may not be as easy to reset as the ones on our computers and phones.

Daylight Saving Time Is March 11, 2012

It's that time of the year to "spring ahead!" Although you'll set your clocks ahead and lose an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11, you'll be gaining an extra hour of sunshine in the evening.

Switching Your Workout Time For Daylight Savings

The end of daylight saving time occurs this weekend, and while that can mean an extra hour to sleep in on Sunday, it does mean the start to those shorter, colder days. And finishing work when it's dark and gloomy outside can demotivate you to hit the gym before finding comfort on your couch.

What Is Daylight Savings?

Another reason to celebrate this weekend: daylight saving ends this Sunday at 2 a.m. This means we'll all be getting one more glorious hour of sleep.

If you ever wonder why we Read more

Change Smoke Detector and Flip Mattress at Daylight Saving Time

As you know, daylight saving time begins tomorrow at 2 a.m., so you should move your clocks one hour ahead then.

You should do so at least twice a year, so it's best to just get in the habit of doing it when you change your clocks. Another thing to do this Read more
