At 2 a.m. tomorrow, most of the nation will spring forward from standard time to daylight saving time. We’ll lose an hour of sleep. Residents of every state except Arizona (not including the Navajo Nation), Hawaii and five U.S. territories will have to pretend the sun rises and sets an hour later.

Adults who don’t get enough sleep on work days can benefit from sleeping an additional one to two hours on non-work days, a 12-member panel of sleep and circadian scientists concluded after a deep dive into published research on this topic.

On Sunday, our clocks fall back once again. While Americans remain divided on many issues, the majority agree that we should stop changing our clocks twice a year. The good news is that falling back to Standard Time gives us an extra hour to sleep this weekend. The even better news is that Standard Time aligns our social schedules with the sun and body rhythms.
