This weekend, on November 2, we will set our clocks back one hour for daylight saving time. Here are some tips to help you during the time change transition:

1. Use Natural Light: Spend at least 10 minutes outdoors in the morning to help reset your body’s internal clock. If early morning sunlight disrupts your sleep, consider using blackout curtains to block it out.

2. Increase Safety: Be extra cautious while commuting, as it will be darker earlier in the evening. Avoid distractions, watch for pedestrians, and have your keys ready when entering your building.

3. Watch for Fatigue: If you start to feel tired during the workday, take a break to recharge.

4. Maintain Routines: Stick to consistent routines for meals, breaks, and activities to help regulate your body clock more effectively.

5. Be Prepared: Ensure that all clocks and timers at work are updated to the new time to prevent delays in meetings and tasks.

6. Check Batteries: Test your fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure the batteries are functioning and not expired.

Following these tips can help ease the transition as we adjust to the time change.
