Set yourself up more restful sleep.

Just like a car needs gas to run, your brain needs sleep to work at its full potential. So how do you handle losing a precious hour when daylight saving time starts this month? Here are a few tips:

• Stick to a consistent sleep schedule: Aim to wake up at the same time, even on weekends.
• Avoid electronic devices before bed: Turn off your screens for at least 30 minutes before going to sleep.
• Create a relaxing bedtime routine: Unwind by gently stretching, listening to soothing music or taking a warm bath or shower.
