Healthy happy you.
I've always had a complicated relationship with daylight savings time — especially the springing forward part. While I love that it gives me extra daylight time to spend outdoors at the end of my workday, I absolutely hate how dark and dreary my home is in the morning during those first few weeks after we change the clocks. What about you? Are you unaffected by waking up to a dark house? Or are Read more
It is time to change our clocks again this Sunday. That means that at 2 a.m. on November 4, you've got to set your clock back one hour. The saying, "Spring forward and fall back," always helps me remember which way the clocks go. It's great that we gain an hour, but a new study shows that our bodies don't adjust well to the time shift. Although it's just a one hour difference, our natural clock Read more
Reik! Reik! Reik! I dreaded the arrival of Daylight Savings Time for the hour of sleep it would cost me, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined this kind of international havoc. The Daily Show reports on the very avoidable danger that could "definitely kill your children" if Daylight Savings precautions were not made in time.

This Sunday is Daylight Savings Time. That means that at 2 am on March 11, the clocks skip ahead 1 hour. Remember the saying - "Spring forward and Fall back." Losing one hour of sleep can really screw up your circadian rhythm (your body's inner clock), so you might want to think about easing into it. On the day before, try going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier. You can also adjust Read more
Time to change those clocks again — this morning, at 2:00 a.m., daylight saving time began. If you're in the US (with the exception of Hawaii and Arizona), that means you'll move your clocks ahead one hour. And while losing an hour of sleep is never fun, gaining an extra hour of light at the end of the day is a welcome change. Here, five ways to help your kids adjust to daylight saving tTime Read more
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. That means if you couldn't pull yourself out of bed for morning workouts in the Fall and Winter (when the mornings were brightest), you can now shift your workouts to the early evening, when it'll still be Read more
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. In fact, many sleep experts say that losing that hour of sleep because Read more
It's that time of year again, when we "fall back," and turn our clocks back one hour. I love adding 60 minutes to my Sunday, so make the most of it — don't just go about your day as usual. My advice is to wake up in the morning when you normally would and spend your freebie hour working out. Gone is your excuse about not having enough time to exercise. Check out how many calories you'll burn Read more
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. I may not be running outside after work during the Winter season, but luckily the fact that my gym is Read more
The trailer for The Campaign couldn't come at a better time, what with our country's own presidential election on the horizon. Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis star as Cam Brady and Marty Huggins, a pair of politicians who are racing against each other for a seat in the US House of Representatives. Their rivalry isn't their only problem — both politicians are pretty dense and prone to saying Read more
