NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's something we all deal with at one time or another — not getting enough sleep.
That will take place Sunday morning at 2 a.m.
Whether it's stress, too much caffeine or just a restless night, the time change that's happening this week is taking away another hour to snooze. However, it could also impact your health in a more significant way.
We were curious about how changes to the clock on daylight saving time really impact our bodies, so we reached out to the experts.
One doctor from Skyline Medical Center said the time change isn't only changing what time our clocks say it can also pose some significant health risks that we may not think about too often.
"A lot of studies have actually shown that a little bit different when we lose that hour in the spring," Britney McCarty, internal medicine physician at Skyline Medical Center.
Daylight Saving Time is also a good time to check your smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector batteries to make sure they're in working condition.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
