Workplace incidents and vehicle accidents tend to increase during the week following daylight saving time changes. These issues really come down to an increase in fatigue and a change of our biological clocks as the actual time is adjusted from what we have become accustomed to. Fatigue has always been a contributing factor to injuries throughout the year. The change in clocks can accelerate that for a brief period until we adjust to the change.
Here are some tips to help you deal better with the change:
1. Get to bed earlier
You can ease your body into the time change by starting your nighttime routine 15 minutes earlier in the days leading up to the start of daylight-saving time. This can be especially helpful for small children, who often feel the effects of the time change more than adults. Then, turn your clocks forward Saturday morning instead of Sunday morning. Live your day based on that schedule. Allowing two days, rather than a single day before the start of the week can ease the biological transition (your circadian rhythm) to the new time.
2. Be consistent
Wake up at the same time each morning to keep your sleep cycle more regular. This means even on weekends! Although sleeping in can help you feel more rested in the short-term, it causes difficulties falling asleep and waking up during the week. In fact, getting out of bed at the same time every morning is the single best way to improve sleep and wake functioning. A consistent sleep schedule based on a single pre-determined rise time will help you feel more rested throughout the entire year. Getting up at the same time is far more important than going to bed at the same time, though consistency on bedtime is certainly also important. On the first Sunday of daylight-saving time, get up at your regular time whether you had a good night's sleep or not. And avoid taking a nap if it’s not part of your typical routine.
3. Enjoy the evening sunlight
One great perk about spring and daylight-saving time is that we experience more sunlight in the evenings. Enjoy the natural lighting outside or indoors with your curtains open. Sunlight helps naturally reset your body clock. Letting natural light come into your bedroom in the morning also aids in greater alertness upon awakening.
4. Exercise
Being physically active is good for your health and it can help you sleep better, too. Go for a walk or run outdoors during daylight where you are exposed to natural sunlight. But try to avoid working out too close to your bedtime. It’s best if you can allow at least two hours to "cool down" from exercise before going to bed.
5. Be mindful of what and when you eat and drink
Eat dinner earlier in the evening to help your body prepare for bedtime. Try to avoid spicy or fatty foods, especially as bedtime is approaching. They can lead to indigestion and insomnia. Avoid caffeine and alcohol later in the day so you fall asleep more easily.
6. Reduce screen time
Television, tablets, and phones may help you unwind for the evening, but they can stimulate your brain and make it harder to fall asleep. Try avoiding hand-held screens and computer displays at least two hours before bed and avoid television at least an hour before bedtime.
El horario de verano comienza de nuevo el domingo 12 de marzo a las 2:00 AM.
Los incidentes laborales y los accidentes vehiculares tienden a aumentar durante la semana siguiente al cambio de horario de verano. Estos problemas se deben principalmente al aumento de la fatiga y al cambio de nuestros relojes biológicos debido al ajuste del horario real al que estamos acostumbrados. La fatiga siempre ha sido un factor contribuyente a las lesiones durante todo el año. El cambio de hora puede acelerar esto durante un breve período hasta que nos adaptemos al cambio.
Aquí hay algunos consejos para ayudarte a lidiar mejor con el cambio:
1. Acuéstate más temprano
Puedes adaptar tu cuerpo al cambio de horario empezando tu rutina nocturna 15 minutos antes en los días previos al inicio del horario de verano. Esto puede ser especialmente útil para los niños pequeños, que a menudo sienten los efectos del cambio horario más que los adultos. Luego, adelanta tus relojes el sábado por la mañana en lugar del domingo por la mañana. Vive tu día según ese horario. Permitir dos días, en lugar de un solo día antes del inicio de la semana, puede facilitar la transición biológica (tu ritmo circadiano) al nuevo horario.
2. Sé consistente
Despiértate a la misma hora cada mañana para mantener tu ciclo de sueño más regular. ¡Esto significa incluso los fines de semana! Aunque dormir más puede ayudarte a sentirte más descansado a corto plazo, puede causar dificultades para conciliar el sueño y despertarte durante la semana. De hecho, levantarte de la cama a la misma hora todas las mañanas es la mejor manera de mejorar el sueño y el funcionamiento al despertar. Un horario de sueño consistente basado en una sola hora determinada de levantarte te ayudará a sentirte más descansado durante todo el año. Levantarse a la misma hora es mucho más importante que acostarse a la misma hora, aunque la consistencia en la hora de acostarse también es importante. El primer domingo del horario de verano, levántate a tu hora habitual, ya sea que hayas dormido bien o no. Y evita tomar una siesta si no es parte de tu rutina típica.
3. Disfruta de la luz solar de la tarde
Una gran ventaja de la primavera y el horario de verano es que experimentamos más luz solar por las tardes. Disfruta de la iluminación natural fuera o dentro de tu casa con las cortinas abiertas. La luz solar ayuda a resetear naturalmente tu reloj biológico. Dejar entrar la luz natural en tu habitación por la mañana también ayuda a una mayor alerta al despertar.
4. Haz ejercicio
Ser físicamente activo es bueno para tu salud y también puede ayudarte a dormir mejor. Sal a caminar o correr al aire libre durante el día donde estés expuesto a la luz solar natural. Pero trata de evitar hacer ejercicio demasiado cerca de la hora de dormir. Es mejor si puedes permitir al menos dos horas para "enfriarte" después de hacer ejercicio antes de acostarte.
5. Sé consciente de qué y cuándo comes y bebes
Cena temprano para ayudar a tu cuerpo a prepararse para dormir. Trata de evitar comidas picantes o grasosas, especialmente cerca de la hora de dormir, ya que pueden causar indigestión e insomnio. Evita la cafeína y el alcohol por la tarde para que te sea más fácil conciliar el sueño.
6. Reduce el tiempo de pantalla
La televisión, las tabletas y los teléfonos móviles pueden ayudarte a relajarte por la noche, pero pueden estimular tu cerebro y hacer que te resulte más difícil conciliar el sueño. Trata de evitar las pantallas de mano y las pantallas de ordenador al menos dos horas antes de acostarte y evita la televisión al menos una hora antes de dormir.
