Ways to Help Kids Prepare for Daylight Savings Time this Weekend

Friday, March 7th, 2025 -- 11:01 AM

(Wisconsin Radio Network) Now’s the time to get your kids ready for the time change to Daylight Savings this weekend.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, University of Wisconsin assistant professor of pediatrics Dr. Casy Freymiller says one thing to try is something called bedtime fading, where parents adjust kid’s bedtime in 15 minutes increments the next few days.

Freymiller says kids and teens are especially prone to the health impacts of getting less sleep, and CDC data shows only 23% of high schoolers got at least eight hours of sleep in 2023.

Freymiller says parents should start prepping kids now so the time change isn’t so sudden come Sunday morning.
