Get ready to “fall back,” y’all — Daylight Saving Time officially ends on November 2nd, which means we’ll be gaining an hour of sleep (yay!) but also losing a little daylight (boo). 🌞➡️🌙
Experts say now’s the time to start prepping your body for the time change so you’re not dragging for days after. Here are a few easy hacks to make the switch smoother:
🕐 Start adjusting early. Gradually shift your sleep and wake-up times a few days before the clocks change. Try to stay up a little later on November 2nd — or even change your clocks early if that helps trick your brain.
💡 Soak up that sunlight. Get as much natural light as you can during the day, and when it’s dark, cut back on the bright screens and overhead lights. It helps reset your body clock.
🏃♀️ Get moving! Daytime exercise can help you stay alert and also sleep better when it’s time for bed.
🛌 Set up your sleep zone. Skip the caffeine and alcohol before bed, keep your room dark and quiet, and stick to a consistent bedtime routine.
You might not be able to stop time (we checked — still impossible), but a little prep now means you’ll roll into that extra hour feeling fresh and rested. 😴✨
