🕒 Quick Tip: Make the Most of That Extra Hour This Sunday

1 Nov

Is there anything better than gaining a whole extra hour of sleep on a Sunday? 🙌
As Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 2nd, we "fall back" and get that sweet bonus hour — but don’t let it fool you. It can still throw off your sleep rhythm if you’re not ready for it.

Here’s how to enjoy the hour and stay aligned this week:

👣 1. Adjust Your Bedtime Gradually

Start heading to bed 15–20 minutes earlier each night leading up to Sunday. That way you ease into the time change without that groggy “jet lag” feeling.

☀️ 2. Get Morning Sunlight

On Sunday and Monday, get outside in the morning — even for 10 minutes. Natural light is a powerful reset button for your internal clock.

🧘 3. Wind Down Well

Support your nervous system in the evening with:

Deep nasal breathing
A calming guided audio
Reduce blue light exposure

A calmer body = deeper sleep.

⚠️ 4. Don’t Overbook Yourself

Keep Monday morning light. If you're still adjusting, a packed schedule will pull you further out of rhythm.

🌙 5. Use the Time Change as a Mini Reset

Fall back is a golden opportunity to recommit to better sleep:

Set a consistent bedtime
Power down screens before rest
Treat your evening routine as nourishment, not an afterthought

This Week’s Challenge:
✅ Choose one sleep ritual to recommit to
⏰ Set a bedtime alarm tonight
🌅 Plan 10 minutes of morning sunlight on Monday

Own your rhythm. Own your week.
Small adjustments + consistent action = a body that works with you, not against you.

Yours in wellness,
