Spring Forward Messes with More than Time

Ah, Spring is right around the corner for most of us and your fancy lightly turns to thoughts of....Daylight Saving Time? Well you better pay it some attention today since the time springs forward and you lose an hour's sleep tonight. According to some sources, you may lose more than a little sleep adapting to the change.

But when the country jumps ahead an hour Sunday morning, that one little lost hour of sleep has a big impact. "It turns out that it takes two to three days - sometimes even longer - to make up and to adjust to that extra hour lost," said Dr. Sonia Ancoli-Israel of the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.
