The time change is imminent — the clocks move within a day. If you have early meetings, travel, or devices that need a manual clock, now is the time to plan for the shift and confirm that phones and computers are set to update automatically.
Tips for this week
- Use the longer evenings to get outdoor light late in the day and reinforce your rhythm.
- Keep a consistent wake time even on weekends so your sleep schedule does not drift.
- If the next change is the fall back, plan to spend the extra hour on sleep rather than staying up later.
Keep tracking the time change
