Daylight Saving Time is almost here… and yes, that means one less hour of sleep. ⏰🌙
The time change can throw off your circadian rhythm, disrupt melatonin production, and lead to shorter, lighter sleep in the days that follow. Some people even notice mood shifts or a dip in energy.
So instead of overhauling our entire routines, we focused on small, science-backed tweaks:
• Dimming lights earlier to cue melatonin
• Cutting screens 1 hour before bed
• Keeping a consistent sleep and wake time
• Upgrading our nightstands with tools that support better sleep
Getting ready to spring forward? Comment SLEEP for our top sleep picks. 😴
Before you try it, we tested it.
