The clocks are changing soon. ⏰ Daylight Saving T The clocks are changing soon. ⏰

Daylight Saving Time ends on Sunday, November 1, which means that at 2:00 a.m., the clocks go back one hour. (And yes, your phone will probably take care of this for you.)

Even though we technically “gain” an hour, the shift can still throw off your sleep for a few days.

My advice? Don’t overthink it.

⏰ Keep your usual wake-up time
☀️ Get some morning daylight
😴 Go to bed when you feel sleepy
🛏️ Don’t rely on sleeping in to “adjust”

Your body clock may take a little time to catch up. That’s okay. You don’t need a complicated plan to fix it.

And enjoy the extra hour.

Yep, I said it. 😬 Melatonin isn’t the insomnia tr Yep, I said it. 😬

Melatonin isn’t the insomnia treatment you might think it is.

Here’s the thing: melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate your body’s internal clock. It’s more about when you sleep than how well you sleep.

That means it can be helpful for things like jet lag or certain circadian rhythm issues, but it’s not generally recommended as a treatment for chronic insomnia.

If you’re struggling with chronic insomnia, CBT-i (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia) is the first-line treatment. It addresses the patterns that can keep insomnia going, rather than simply trying to make you sleepy.
