Daylight Saving Time Begins on Sunday

Get ready to lose that extra hour of sleep—Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend.

Sunday, March 13 is the day to “spring forward” and turn your clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m.

Don’t fret, however, as there are a few tricks to coping with the time change and there are plenty of things worse for your health than losing an hour of sleep.

Look on the bright side—this means spring is here and the sun is coming back out from its winter retreat.
