Daylight saving time has come to an end, which means you get to turn your clocks back an hour earlier! While the end of daylight saving time may seem like only a positive thing, there can also be many negative effects, such as feeling that you are stuck at work for an extra hour. Keep these tips in mind to ensure that you will be adjusted to the time change.

• Get enough exercise – working out releases serotonin, a chemical that helps your body adjust. An early morning, outdoor exercise such as a walk around the block, will help to ensure that your body better adjusts to the time change.
• Limit your alcohol consumptions – alcohol can interfere with your normal sleep cycle. Even if you think that you can have one more drink, always avoid alcohol 3 hours before you go to bed.
• Eat at the right time – your body is used to eating an hour earlier, which means that you may get hungry right before bedtime. Make sure to give yourself enough time to digest your food before you go to bed to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
• Get outside – if you are stuck in an office all day, chances are you will not get to enjoy the sun. Open your blinds first thing in the morning to get ready for the day and get out in the sun for at least 15 minutes a day. Vitamin D, which comes from sunlight, is an essential vitamin for your health.
