The time has finally come where we can now have an extra hour of sleep. YAY! But with this amazing gift there are some pros like for example the fact that we have to wake up and it's dark outside, it completely throws you off. The first week of daylight savings time can sometimes be brutal because your body needs to get adjusted to the changes that are happening. So here are some tips on how you can get through daylight savings time:

Tip 1: Start adjusting NOW!

Don't wait until November 6th to get ready, try waking up half an hour later for a few days and then try changing it to an hour. That way when the time comes your body is already adjusted and prepared.

Tip 2: Stay away from the Sweets:

When the time changes our body gets all confused and we feel sluggish. So to react on that our body wants sugar, when realistically the sugar will just make us feel worse. Which is why you should make your snacks the day before and be ready for when the hunger strikes.

Tip 3: Stay Hydrated

Of course it is always important to stay hydrated especially with the transition that will be happening next week. Which is why you will want to fill up your water bottle and keep it close by.

Tip 4: Winding down= No phone

There have been multiples studies that show we should not be sleeping with our phones close to us. Not only does it have a power radiation that is dangerous to us, but it can keep us awake while we go on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook...etc. Which is why you need to turn off you phones and get a good nights rest you will definitely be needing it.

Tip 5: Get your Vitamin D

This should not be a problem for those of us who live in Sunny Side Florida, but for those who live up North now that we are in Fall and soon to be in Winter, the sun won't be around for long.

If you follow these five simple tips I am sure we can all get through Daylight Savings Time. Don't forget November 6th!
