Tips for Adjusting to the Time Change

Health and Wellness

Are you having trouble adjusting to the time change and getting the sleep you need to be your best? These tips for adjusting to daylight savings time will help you spring forward into better nights of sleep to come.

Tips for Adjusting to the Time Change

EMBRACE NATURAL LIGHT

One of the best ways to adjust to the time change is by exposing yourself to natural light as soon as you wake up. Right after that alarm goes off, open your curtains or blinds and let the sunlight flood into your room. This will help regulate your internal clock and signal to your body that it's time to be awake. And, if done correctly, you can start the day off with a nice dose of theatricality.

ADJUST TO THE TIME CHANGE GRADUALLY

Rather than trying to make a sudden switch, try gradually adjusting your sleep schedule leading up to the time change. Start going to bed 15 minutes earlier each night for a few days. By doing this, you're giving your body time to adapt slowly without feeling too abrupt.

STICK WITH CONSISTENCY

Maintaining a consistent sleep routine can greatly aid in adjusting to the time change. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. This helps regulate your circadian rhythm and makes it easier for your body to adjust from one schedule to another. And be consistent about how you sleep—things like temperature, lighting, and sleeping position all affect your ability to rest.

AVOID STIMULANTS BEFORE BED

Avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol close to bedtime as they can disrupt quality sleep and make it harder for you to wind down and get your rest. Another stimulant? The internet. Try to put down your phone at least 30 minutes before you plan to fall asleep. This allows your mind to uncoil from the doomscroll and gives your eyes ample rest from the blue light of your smartphone, which can also interrupt your circadian rhythm.

I have been going to Williamsburg Chiropractic for two months. It is clear that the doctors at this practice are dedicated to helping their patients feel the best that they can. I love that the intake process includes taking x-rays, as it provided me with a clear picture of my structural imbalances and helps me understand more deeply how the adjustments are helping to realign my spine. There are also incremental body scan check-ins which reveal the progress my nervous system is making as a result of the adjustments over time. The office is also very efficient with wait times. Highly recommend!

Williamsburg Chiropractic is a quality practice all around.The front desk staff are always kind and responsive, Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Thomas are informative and consistently demonstrate expertise in their field, and I've never had a single billing issue (even while using my medical insurance plan).I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Williamsburg Chiropractic if you're experiencing any pain or discomfort - no matter the severity - as they may be able to help!

I suffered from a pinched nerve from my neck running down my arm for 3 months. It stopped me from working out which I had been doing daily. Went to a physical therapist for 2 of the 3 months. Did acupuncture regularly. Visited a neurologist. I did not want to take any medication to get rid of the pain, but nothing was working. Until I found Williamsburg Chiropractic.After very thorough examination and 1 week of treatment, we had established the reason for my pinched nerve and the pain had reduced by 60%. 2 weeks after that the pain was completely gone and I am now back to my routine of lifting heavy weights. BIG BIG thank you to the amazing people at Williamsburg Chiropractic. I am forever grateful and VERY HIGHLY recommend them to anyone suffering from any sort of body aches.

I tweaked my back weightlifting, and it was pretty painful to say the least. Within one session with Dr. Hoffman, I was in significantly less pain, and in two sessions in two days I was near back to normal. If you're debating a holistic route to pain, this is a great place to start. They x-ray you so they know exactly what they're working with and are very patient with explaining everything going on with your body. Would recommend!
