Daylight saving time begins at 2AM on Sunday, March 13th! If moving the clock forward an hour means you are losing precious sleep and drinking too much coffee, Sleep Foundation can help.

"The best thing to do leading up to daylight saving time is to begin going to sleep and waking up a little bit earlier - 15 min. or so - each day. Remember to get morning sunshine before noon if possible - this helps invigorate your sleep wake rhythms.
Starting a week prior to the time change is ideal. When it comes time to move the clocks forward, your body has already adjusted to the new time zone.
If doing this is not an option, then try to wind down earlier to give yourself an 8 hr opportunity to sleep. Avoid scheduling important events this week if possible. Be prepared for feeling fatigued/sleepy this week. Take a short nap (15-20) if possible."
