When is Spring Forward?

Spring forward is the time when we "spring forward" our clocks by one hour, effectively losing an hour of sleep. This usually happens in March, but the exact date varies depending on the year.

Why do we spring forward?

We spring forward to take advantage of the longer days during the spring and summer months. By moving our clocks ahead, we get an extra hour of daylight in the evening. This can be great for getting outside, enjoying the weather, and saving energy on lighting.

When is spring forward in 2023?

In 2023, spring forward will occur on Sunday, March 12th. At 2:00 AM, clocks will move ahead to 3:00 AM.

Tips for springing forward

Springing forward can disrupt your sleep schedule, so it's important to take some steps to make the transition easier. Here are a few tips:

* Adjust your sleep schedule gradually in the days leading up to spring forward. Go to bed and wake up 15-30 minutes earlier each day.
* Get plenty of sunlight during the day. This will help regulate your body's natural sleep-wake cycle.
* Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. These substances can interfere with sleep.
* Create a relaxing bedtime routine. This could include taking a warm bath, reading a book, or listening to calming music.

If you're having trouble adjusting to spring forward, talk to your doctor. They may be able to recommend some strategies to help you get a good night's sleep
