Daylight Saving Kids Health
SUMMARY: Daylight Saving begins tomorrow, potentially disrupting sleep schedules and health, especially for children and pets. Dr. Don Alvarez suggests that younger kids may struggle more with the time change due to sleep cycle disruptions, leading to irritability and concentration issues. To ease the transition, parents should begin adjusting bedtimes and nap times 4-5 days before the change, moving sleep routines gradually by 15-minute increments. Post time change, shifting bedtimes earlier by 30 minutes for the following week can help. Additionally, exposure to natural daylight supports circadian rhythms and can aid in adjustment.
