Steps to LivingWell

Even though your brain knows that the time on the clock has changed, your body's internal clock does not. When the clocks move forward in the spring, you'll be robbed of an hour of sleep.
A few simple steps to help
you "spring forward" successfully:
1. Stick
to a routine.2. Stay away from sleep disrupters like caffeine.
3. Get some sun: natural sunlight helps regulate your body's natural rhythms.
4. Work up a sweat: exercise may help you fall asleep easier.
5. Practice good sleep habits: Is it dark enough? Is it cool enough? Is it quiet enough?
