Although the extra snooze time is always much appreciated with the end of daylight savings, this one-hour shift can make a surprisingly big impact on our sleep schedules and overall routine. Here are three helpful tips on how to seamlessly adjust to this annual time change.
Add warm layers to your bed
Now that there’s a slight chill in the air, it’s the perfect time to layer your bed to stay warm and cozy. Adding a soft quilt or throw blanket is an easy way to transition your bed from summer to fall without having to totally revamp your style. Neutral yet classic colors such as navy and grey will effortlessly bring the vibe of the changing seasons straight to your bedroom.
Incorporate movement into your day
Studies show that even 30 minutes of exercise a day leads to a better night’s sleep. Getting your blood flowing helps relieve stress, tires your body out, and improves your mood. Go for a run around your neighborhood, do some at-home pilates, or wind down with a bedtime yoga routine.
Shorter days often make us feel tired earlier, which means it’s more important than ever to prioritize sleep. Sticking to a routine bedtime, ditching the devices before bed, and sipping on warm non-caffeinated tea at night will prepare your body for a restful night of sleep.
