Hey team, this week we're going to be talking about the upcoming change to Daylight Saving Time in the US - but don't worry, if you're not one of those places that experience a spring time-switch, there is still going to be a lot of great stuff we cover in this episode. Our natural sleeping and wake times are controlled by our circadian rhythm, so we're going to be discussing that in some detail and what we can do to help get ready for the time change so that it doesn't hit us like a ton of bricks.

This Episode's Top Tips

1. When we're preparing for an upcoming time change, we can start moving our wake and sleep times gradually to match up with the change.
2. While it can be tough to adjust our bedtime if we focus on setting a strong bedtime routine, we can use that help us get sleepy and work on adjusting when we're starting to get ready for bed instead of just when we want to fall asleep.
3. Our circadian rhythm dictates our sleep cycle and energy throughout the day - we can influence it with things like morning sunlight, exercise, when we're eating, and in some cases, melatonin.
