WORCESTER, Mass. - Many across the country will fall back, gaining an hour of sleep as daylight saving time ends this weekend. 

Problematic, its the word Dr. Anthony Izzo uses when discussing turning back the clocks.

"It's still disruptive to everybody's sleep routine," Izzo said. "Everybody's circadian rhythm."

As the medical director of Saint Vincent Hospital's sSeep Center, Izzo helps patients figure out what's getting between them and a peaceful night of rest. He's also an advocate for the end of changing the clocks, arguing the reasons behind the clock change are outdated. Those who want to keep things as is, argue the change is safer for school children in the morning and allows for more productivity at the start of the day.

Izzo admits falling back does have its benefits.

"After this clock change, we actually see improvements in some health outcomes like depression because the morning light gets brighter," he said. "And that's overall better for all of our health.

Izzo says it's easier on the brain to fall asleep in dim light or darkness, which is why it's much harder on the body come the spring clock change. But when we turn back the clock this weekend, it's still something to prepare for.

"So, if you have trouble falling asleep with the clock change, low dose melatonin, anything three milligrams or less about 90 minutes before your intended bedtime will help you adjust to the new time zone," he said.

Izzo also says a high quality sleep tracking device could be of good use for those looking to better understand how well they're sleeping.
