On average, studies show that we lose 40 minutes of sleep when we spring forward, so make sure you budget enough time to get the sleep you need since it's one of the most important weapons for battling irritation and illness. You might even consider trying to gradually adjust to the time change starting now, so it's not such a shock to your system.
Lack of sleep might also mess with your diet, something that will already be in flux if you're on the road, so pack some familiar and healthy snacks to bring along with you and drink lots of water. This will keep any DST-induced cravings at bay and lower your risk of the dreaded traveler's tummy.
Most importantly, don't forget to spring forward on Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 2:00am.
