As long as DST is in place, you should actively prepare ahead of time to minimize the effects of losing one hour of sleep.nnYou should make sleep a priority in the days leading up to DST. Keep a sleep schedule and avoid exposure to light from screens in the evening as much as possible. To encourage deep, restful sleep, avoid drinking alcohol, eating heavy meals, and consuming anything with caffeine before bed. If you still feel drowsy after DST, take some short naps if you can to make up that lost sleep.
