Here's what the Chattanooga area has to offer this week.
GOOD TO KNOW
Dr. Anuj Chandra, medical director of Chattanooga's Advanced Center for Sleep Disorders, says that sleep disruption from the change to (and from) daylight-saving time can cause serious problems, including increased driving accidents, increased workplace accidents, lower school performance and even a small increase in heart attacks. Here are his quick tips to reduce its effects:
› Enjoy the sun. "After the time changes, get outside into the sunlight as much as you can. It helps reset your internal clock faster."
› Avoid naps. "Resist the urge to nap for a few days after the time change. Napping makes it harder for your body clock to reset, so it works against you in the long run."
› Turn off your screens. "Turn off all electronic devices -- anything with a screen -- at least one hour before you go to bed. The blue- spectrum light that comes from screens reduces your body's production of melatonin at night, when you need it to help you fall asleep."
