Here's what's happening this week in the Chattanooga area.
Spring forward
If springing forward for daylight-saving time has you pining for that lost hour of sleep, there are practical ways to cope. Dr. Anuj Chandra, who founded the Advanced Center for Sleep Medicine, an independent sleep clinic, in Chattanooga in 2005, says research shows the disturbance in the sleep-wake cycle "can cause increased driving accidents, increased workplace accidents, lower school performance and even a small increase in heart attacks." He has these recommendations for making the adjustment this week.
— Exercise: Exercising helps to make you tired at bedtime so you fall asleep more easily, even if your body's sleep patterns have been thrown off by the time change. But stop exercising about two hours before you go to bed.
— No naps: Napping takes the edge off your need to sleep at night, so it's better to avoid naps and just go to bed earlier if you have to.
— No stimulants: Caffeine and sugar might help you feel more alert for a short time during the day, but they make it harder to get to sleep at night.
— Be patient: It can take up to a week for your body to get used to the new time, so be patient.
