SleepScore App Helps You Prepare for Daylight Saving Time with First of its Kind Four-Day in-App Program
Summary
The program, endorsed by SleepScore Labs resident sleep expert Dr. Roy Raymann, is available via the free SleepScore App and was designed to strategically and gradually shift the user’s natural bedtime routines to prevent the likely negative effects of transitioning to Daylight Saving Time. “Our body prefers predictability, and it has an expectancy of when to wake up,” said Roy Raymann, Ph.D., vice president of Sleep Science and Scientific Affairs at SleepScore Labs. “The change to Daylight Saving Time (DST) in combination with alarm clocks in the morning, is a forceful wake-up method, in a situation where the body is expecting still to be in sleeping mode. The slow transition to lighter sleep that normally happens before the alarm goes off is fully skipped; and waking up unexpectedly one hour earlier can stress the body and cardiac system.
