Besides the dread of darkness falling an hour earlier in the afternoon, some sleep experts say that falling back in November doesn’t outweigh the cost of springing ahead in March. “Research on daylight saving time shows that it may have important effects on our health and work performance,” said Indiana University associate professor Cristiano Guarana. Guarana, who specializes in sleep and job engagement, calls daylight saving time a “global experiment” that has netted less than encouraging results.

Not too early and not too late, with the sweet spot being between 10pm and 11pm. The study, based on data from more than 88,000 participants of the UK Biobank, suggests going to sleep at 10pm or shortly after is associated with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared with falling asleep earlier or later at night.

These tips can help rebuild your kid's sleep routine Getting enough sleep helps you focus, retain information and helps to fortify your immune system.

Q: Getting 8 straight hours of sleep Is hard for me to do. Is it OK to break my sleep into chunks? (Maddie C.) Maddie, the short answer is yes—but there are a few stipulations to keep in mind. The main thing to consider is that sleep comes in roughly 90-minute cycles. That’s why I tend to support pushback against breaking up your sleep into two 4-hour blocks. Instead, shoot for getting 4.5 hours or 6 hours of sleep at once, and then find time during the day for a nap to top yourself off. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Q: How Does Alcohol Affect Sleep? (Eugene L.) Eugene, a drink at nighttime might be called a nightcap, but alcohol doesn’t actually help you get high-quality sleep. A few drinks in, alcohol makes you feel drowsy and sedated, thus causing you to fall asleep faster. But it can lead to poor sleep by suppressing Rapid Eye Movement (REM), which is the deepest part of sleep that supports memory and concentration. It can interrupt your circadian rhythm, causing you to wake up frequently. Alcohol also has a diuretic effect that makes you urinate more often — you might be waking up for bathroom trips throughout the night. For most people, one or two drinks shouldn’t impact sleep significantly, though. | | All in One Location - SleepTesting, CPAP/APAP, Dental Mouthpieces, Surgery, Laser Therapy, & More
