Adjusting Your Sleep as Daylight Savings Ends

As daylight saving time ends, we turn our clocks back, increasing morning light exposure which can help synchronize our body clocks with daily routines. However, this shift can disrupt our circadian rhythms, similar to jet lag.

Tips for Easing the Transition:

• Prepare for the change by gradually adjusting your sleep schedule a few days prior.
• Expose yourself to natural light in the morning to reset your internal clock.
• Avoid stimulants like caffeine and alcohol in the evening, as they can impair sleep quality.
• Enhance your sleep environment with routines that promote relaxation, such as reading or gentle yoga before bed.

Adapting these practices can smooth the transition out of daylight savings time, helping you maintain energy levels and overall health.
