π°οΈ Feeling Off? You’re Not Alone! π°οΈ
The clocks will spring forward, many of us will feel the pinch in our sleep schedules. As we wave goodbye to an hour of precious slumber with the start of Spring Daylight Savings Time, it’s normal to feel a tad out of sync. π΄π
But did you know that losing just that one little hour can impact our bodies more than we think?
π Poor Sleep = A Struggle for All! Struggling to get your eight hours? You’re in good company. Our biological clocks are trying to catch up, and it can make us all feel a bit wonky. Feeling sleepier, less focused, or even a touch irritable is part and parcel of this yearly time-tango!
ππ€ Why Does This Happen? Our internal clocks (our circadian rhythm) get a bit out of whack when the time changes. It’s like jet lag without the travel! Your body is saying “Hey! Itβs bedtime!” but the clock is telling you, “Nope, not yet!”
π± How Do We Find Our Sleep Groove Again? 1. Soak up that morning sunshine. It cues your brain to wake up! 2. Stick to a sleep schedule – yes, even on weekends. 3. Create a bedtime ritual to wind down. Maybe some calming music or a book?
