Tips for parents to help kids adjust during daylight saving time

With clocks set to fall back early Sunday morning, people around the country are preparing to adjust their sleep schedules for daylight saving time .

Clocks "fall back" at the end of daylight saving time at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 2.

NBC Chicago spoke with Dr. Anastasia Mlnarik, a pediatrician with Endeavor Health, about what parents can do to ease the transition and sleep changes.

Mlnarik said the way bodies of children and adult bodies adjust to daylight saving time is different.

“For most adults, that’s a ‘hooray, we get an hour of sleep,’" Mlnarik said. However, children's "body clocks do not understand daylight savings time. So, usually that means your children are up an hour earlier.”

Sleep rhythms in children are typically naturally set to follow a number of hours.
