Do you lose sleep when daylight savings starts?

Question

My cousin in the US always complains about losing sleep when daylight saving begins. Since we don't have that system here in India, our sleep schedule isn't impacted by it, right?

When you have early morning meetings with US clients, this shift really hits you. You lose exactly one hour of sleep on the night it starts. I suggest adjusting your alarms by fifteen minutes daily from a week before so your schedule doesn't break.

Arre, I lose sleep even without daylight savings just thinking about the morning maid not showing up! But seriously, yes, that one hour difference can make you feel super tired. Just drink an extra cup of ginger tea and pull through the day.

While most people adjust to the one-hour loss in a few days, some can face severe sleep disturbances. If you find your heart rate fluctuating or have extreme fatigue that doesn't go away, please get yourself checked by a doctor.

True, you do lose an hour of sleep. Try to avoid heavy dinner that night so you can fall asleep faster.

Haan bhai, jab samay badalta hai toh thoda asar toh padta hi hai. Humare yahan toh log suraj ke hisab se sote hain, par jo sheher mein hain unhe dikkat hoti hai. Thoda garam doodh pi kar soiye, sab theek ho jayega.

Yes dear, it can make you feel a bit unsettled and tired for a couple of days. Just take a short afternoon nap if possible and don't exert yourself too much.

Karan Malhotra · Answer

Yes, you do lose an hour, it's basic math because the clocks move forward. Just sleep an hour early the previous night. It's not that complicated if you manage your time well.
