Lose an hour Sunday, gain free coffee Monday

March 6, 2015

Daylight saving time begins Sunday, March 8. The time change means more daylight hours, but it also can hurt many people's sleep schedules.

Would a free iced coffee help you adjust?

Participating Dunkin' Donuts  restaurants in Georgia will help customers "spring forward" with a free 16 oz. iced coffee this Monday, March 9. And if you share a photo of yourself with your free beverage — using the special hashtag #smileforthecoffee — you will be entered to win one of two $10 Dunkin mgifts. If you forget to turn your clock ahead Sunday and are running late for work Monday, don't worry; the promotion lasts all day.

If you're not a coffee drinker, don't worry. There are other ways to cope with the loss of an hour. Here are things you should know.
