Tips for Week of March 8, 2007
- As noted last week, we're losing an hour of sleep on March 11th. This has been declared Sleep Awareness Week by the National Sleep Foundation . What's the least painful way to cope with the time change? Starting a few days before the time shift, start heading to bed a little earlier each night - even 15 minutes earlier for three days can start to make a difference. And, set your alarm clock for 15 minutes earlier, too. Correction : Last week, I had the fall date wrong--it's Nov. 4th. Thanks to those who wrote me.
