Tips for the DST Transition

  • 1Gradually adjust your sleep schedule by 15-20 minutes per day in the days leading up to the change.
  • 2Set your clocks before going to bed the night before the transition.
  • 3Use the extra hour in fall to catch up on rest — avoid staying up late.
  • 4Check battery-powered clocks and manual devices, as they may not auto-update.
  • 5Be cautious driving the Monday after spring forward, as fatigue-related accidents increase.
  • 6Update any scheduled events, alarms, and reminders that may be affected.
