Spring Forward into Daylight Savings with more Sleep

Clocks will "spring forward" on Sunday, March 8th as we enter Daylight Savings Time. But that doesn't mean you HAVE to lose a hour of sleep! Inspired Health Group's Sleep Care Coordinator, Deborah Haidon, offers these tips to spring forward with healthier sleep habits!

Keep a consistent sleep schedule:

gradually transition bedtime 15 to 20 minutes earlier each night for a few nights prior to time change

Create a sleep friendly environment:

turn off electronics & TV
try using ear plugs
use blackout curtains
keep bedroom at a comfortable temperature

Don't feast before bed:

do not eat a large meal before bed
if you are hungry eat a light, healthy snack

Talk to your healthcare provider about your sleep concerns

If you need support with getting quality sleep, or think you are getting enough sleep but are consistently waking up tired, talk to your healthcare provider. There are many factors that may impact your sleep quality. Sleep can be interrupted by things such as stress, hormones, health conditions, and more.

Your healthcare provider can help you determine the best course of action to helping you get better sleep. If a sleep study is recommended, Inspired Health Group offers patients at home studies.

At-home Sleep Studies

With the help of our Sleep Care Coordinator, Inspired Health Group in Orchard Park offers at home sleep testing options. Results are read by a Board Certified Sleep Physician, and can identify sleep disorders and establish a care plan to help you get a more restful nights sleep.
