Here are some tips for handling the time change in the fall!

• Adjust your sleep schedule: A few nights before the time change, try to adjust your bedtime and wake time earlier or later.

• Avoid caffeine: Caffeine can stay in your system for more than 10 hours, so avoid it after 2 or 3 PM.

• Update your clocks: Update the clocks in your home, car, microwave, and oven before you go to bed on the day of the time change.

• Practice good sleep hygiene: Create a dark and quiet environment for sleeping, and stick to a regular sleep schedule.

• Limit screen time: Blue light from phone and computer screens can negatively impact sleep.

• Exercise: Exercise can boost your energy and mood by releasing feel-good chemicals in your brain.

• Keep your schedule: Try to keep things as close to normal as possible.
