The Answer is Simple: Go To Bed Earlier on Sunday
Go to bed an hour earlier this weekend. Don't be caught off guard. Depriving yourself of one hour of sleep can have a lasting effect.

The one-hour reduction in sleep (or Sleep Deprivation) has been shown to have a lasting effect into the following week. Traffic accident data has shown a spike in traffic accidents in the spring when Daylight Saving begins. Perhaps not surprisingly, the opposite is true when Daylight Saving ends in the fall and we gain an hour of sleep.
