If I could turn back time....

Daylight savings time can really throw you for a loop! By moving the clocks in either direction, our principal time cue - light – changes, and therefore our circadian rhythm is also affected, for up to a week. How well you adapt will depend on a few things. If you’re an early riser or a lark, or get less than 7.5 hours a night you will likely have the most trouble adjusting. You may find yourself up unxpectedly in the middle of the night this week.

Create a sleep hygiene routine to fall asleep, stay and asleep and sleep soundly. Reduce or eliminate caffeine and alcohol, exercise several hours before bedtime, create calming rituals before bed to gradually relax yourself (i.e. Hot bath) and wearing earplugs and eye masks, to block your senses.
