Prepare for summer time with our Sleep newsletter: NPR

Summer time begins on Sunday, March 9, and this means that for the majority of the United States, the clocks will arise an hour.

Losing an hour can really spoil your sleep. It can take days to your body to adapt to darker mornings, and the passage to more light in the evening can leave your circadian rhythm out of synchronization, reports Allison Aubrey de NPR.

Prepare for the time change and Register for Life Kit’s Guide to Better Sleep,, A series of limited racing newsletter which was initially launched in June 2024. During a week, We will send you strategies to help you sleep better, more deeply and longer so that you can quickly go back to sleep.

What our NPR readers say about this series

Since its launch last year, tens of thousands of people have subscribed Kit of life kit to sleep better. Here is what some of our public members say about the series. These responses have been modified for duration and clarity.

I thought I had heard all the advice but these are great. I did not know that going from a hot environment to a cold environment, like a fresh room, can promote sleep. I am a bathing person, so it’s good to say that I can do what I like to do! —Janie Cox

I felt validated that the habits I have acquired over the years are the ones you also recommend. The point of not worrying not to sleep enough made me feel better. I have never been a good sleeper, but being too concerned about that certainly does not help. —Jeannie Smith

I saved these newsletters for a while when I had the space to assess my sleep hygiene and see where I could improve. One thing that I found reassuring is that no night’s sleep, does not look like the same thing, and our body changes models as we age. I think I was hoping to sleep from my past when the reality is that my health has changed considerably since then. Maybe I should reassess what “a good sleep night” looks like for me now. —Denise Taylor Denault

After the end of this newsletter series, you will receive Life Kit weekly emails on lifestyle subjects such as health, money, relationships and more.
