Early Sunday morning, our clocks sprung forward an hour which extends the sunshine in the evening hours.Â
Daylight saving time has received mixed opinions over the years as moving the clocks forwards and backwards can create some confusion and affect people's sleep schedules.
According to SleepFoundation.Org, people are most vulnerable to sleep deprivation in early March.
Because we have darker mornings and more evening light, our sleep-wake cycle gets affected which makes people feel more tired in the morning.
This has sparked conversations about keeping the clocks the same all year as a permanent standard time works better for our circadian rhythms.
Although our circadian rhythms can be affected for a few weeks, some people are happy about daylight saving time because they get more time to do their favorite outdoor activities.
"I definitely prefer spring forward; I love the sunlight and I love the long days. I can go out and run at night and have daylight with me, instead of in the dark where I have to be careful I'm not running after four o'clock," said Georgia Tappe.
If you are feeling tired during the day, SleepFoundation.org recommends getting enough natural sunlight because it can help your circadian rhythm.
