Daylight savings is coming up THIS SUNDAY!!! Don’t forget. You don’t want to show up to late to things! You’ll thank me later for reminding you! Since it’s spring we are going to “spring” our clocks forward an hour. By springing ahead, we may fall back on sleep. My tip in this post….don’t stay up late. Set your clocks forward so that you know what time it is and how much sleep you will get. Go to bed at your normal time. It might not be easy but it’s worth it! Now for kids, sometimes daylight saving can be a bear! I’m kind of nervous. At 5:00 the night before I’m going to set my clocks to 6:00 pm and just roll with it. They might not feel tired, but they will at least try to go to bed. I’m praying that my 6:30 early risers will start waking up later!
I’m no expert so lets move onto the real experts tips. I got to send in some interview questions to Kim West, AKA The Sleep Lady about daylight savings. She has a book out called The Sleep Lady®’s Good Night, Sleep Tight that I totally need to read. Anyway, take it away Kim…
Isn’t she awesome?I loved all of her great tips!
Check out this infographic Pampers put together from a survey they conducted about daylight savings…

Ugh I am so not ready for Daylights Savings Time! I like your idea of setting the clocks ahead at 5 so the kids think it’s later. I may do that same thing! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

I can’t stand daylight savings. It’s amazing how one hour can throw your whole family off! But! I do love diapers! I’m 18 weeks pregnant and even though I wouldn’t need a size 6 for a loong time, I’m stocking up as much as I can! I need to win one of your baby stuff give aways. I haven’t had a baby in a long time and all my stuff is behind the times. Haha. 🙂

It wasn’t due to DST, but I did miss a friend’s wedding because I forgot Georgia was in a different time zone. >:-(
terra Phipps says
I noticed the clock said 6 pm and my husband always come homes at 6 or ealier so I got worried and blew up his phone. Then 30 minutes later he called saying it was only 5:30 and he was heading home.

I haven’t forgotten to change them ever, but funny story, when we moved to Hawaii when I was in elementary school I went around and changed all of the clocks for daylight savings….. to find out that oops, they don’t change them lol. My Dad sure got a kick out of it 🙂
Patricia M says
No I never have but I know people who did forget and were actually late to work.
Darlene Owen says

Last time we changed time I changed my watch the opposite way. I was a little confused. *LOL* Sigh! kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
richelle leffler says
hello !
Julie says
I am SO not a fan of day light savings time. I think it’s all kind of silly. There are many states that don’t partake in this and I wish we didn’t either. I really don’t see the point. I don’t remember ever forgetting to change the time and now our phones and gadgets all automatically change to the new time. Hello! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win! Julie smartsavvymama@gmail.com
amberlyn says
Yes! I actually was late to work and to take the kids to school. I didn’t have my phone on auto update of time .i thought gee, what’s going on here? Until i got to work and for in trouble. Now i try to stay on top of daylight savings time.
Betsy says
i haven’t forgotten, but one time my phone didnt update and i was late for work
Marija says

Cassandra Eastman says
Yes, we were late to church that day! 🙂
Jessica Hill says
I usually remember, but it never fails that bad luck happens that night! My five month old is usually an AWESOME sleeper….except last night…when I was already losing an hour.
Danielle Porter says
Hello! I normally set mine like a day ahead of time. 😛 I LOVE daylight savings even though we lose an hour,
Kim Reid says
No, I usually always remember so I am on the right time when I wake up!

Cynthia R says
I haven’t forgetton in the sense that I was late or early for something but I there was the time I never bothered changing the time in the clock in my car. I just left it alone until the time changed again.
Kimberly says
Yes, I am terrible about remembering to change my clock. I was always an hour late or early for school when the time changed. Thankfully I married someone who is on top of things like that for me and we have smarter technology that automatically updates the time.
Leidy R. says
I don’t think that has ever happened to me before
Michelle S says
I have never forgot to reset my clock, thankfully it’s automatic.
Deborah Gardner says
I have forgotton to change my alarm clock before and I thought I woke up late!
