Reset Your Rhythm: 5 Ways to Feel Better After the Time Change

When the clocks change, whether we spring forward or fall back, most people figure it’s no big deal. It’s just one hour. Right?

Not so fast.

Come Monday, if you find yourself moving slowly through the day, feeling hungry at odd times, and wondering why you’re so wiped out, then read on.

Just because your phone and laptop flipped to the new time without missing a beat doesn’t mean your body will. Your body is built to run on sunlight, not WiFi. When daylight changes overnight, your hormones, energy, and appetite have to play catch-up. The good news? A few smart moves can help you adjust faster.

For a smoother shift, do this:

Get outside first thing in the morning. It doesn’t have to be a big production. Just step onto the porch, walk to the mailbox, or let the dog out. Leave the sunglasses behind and resist the urge to check your phone. A few minutes of direct sunlight on your face and in your eyes signals the brain that the day has started. You’ll be surprised how much of a difference this one habit can make.

Nights are the real trouble spot. Outside it’s pitch black, but indoors you’ve got screens blazing like it’s high noon. Blue light emitted by cell phones, laptops, iPads and computers slams the brakes on melatonin—the hormone that tells your body it’s bedtime. Fix it by killing ALL devices an hour before you crash – including the WiFi. Turn the lights down low or light some candles, brew some chamomile, flip through a real book. Feels old-school, but it works.

Anchor your day with steady sleep times. Choose a bedtime and wake-up that work for you and stick to them. Even on weekends. Your body will thank you with consistent energy, fewer crashes, and mornings that actually feel good.

Make sure you’re getting enough magnesium. This mineral is involved in over 300 different processes in the body—everything from calming nerves to relaxing muscles. But most people don’t get nearly enough. When sleep feels off or you’re on edge after the time change, topping off your magnesium levels can make all the difference.

Check it out: Mag-Key combines not one, but four absorbable forms of magnesium with vitamin B6 to help your body use it better. How much do you need? Aim for 5 mg per pound of body weight daily.

Wrap it up with an easy evening routine. Skip the caffeine after lunch and take a warm Epsom salt bath in the evening. Nothing complicated. Just small habits that add up.

Bottom line:

You can fight the time change or you can outsmart it. If you want to sleep like a pro, a little morning sun, smarter blue-light-free evenings, and the right magnesium support will have you well on your way. You’ll barely notice the clocks moved!
