After a cold winter, flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and birds are chirping. Spring is here along with a few sleep hurdles. Aside from the time change affecting our sleep cycles, there are a few other seasonal changes like more daylight exposure, allergens, and unpredictable weather that impact sleep quality and overall health. Saying goodbye to winter is great but are we ready for what spring brings along?

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in March for most of the US, parts of Canada, and some islands. We are bringing Sleep Awareness due to the major impact that simply losing one hour of sleep can have on our overall health.
