\"Clocks
Clocks Go Forward – Speedy Reg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to put your clocks forward! Yes, you\u2019re going\nto lose an hour of sleep. You enjoyed that extra hour back in October, but\nthat\u2019s long forgotten. Do you end up tired and stressed when the clocks go forward?\nHere\u2019s how to ensure your mind and body cope with the change\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare in advance <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s all well and good just going to bed early the night\nbefore, but when you\u2019re used to a specific bedtime, chances are you\u2019ll just lie\nthere for an hour. The trick is to work up to it, get to bed just a little earlier\neach night for a few days before the change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a lie in<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good thing about the clocks changing on a Saturday\nnight, is that the next day is a Sunday, so if you can, just lie in for an\nextra hour on Sunday so you\u2019re having the same amount of sleep your body is\nused to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your clocks the night before <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you change the clocks the evening before the change over,\nthen you don\u2019t have to lie in bed thinking \u2018 I must remember to change the\nclocks tomorrow\u2019 and you won\u2019t risk forgetting and being late for something! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a chill-out night before the change <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage your body and mind to have a great night\u2019s sleep.\nHave a long luxurious bath, don\u2019t use your phone in bed as the blue light mobile\ndevices give off trick your brain into thinking it\u2019s morning, and don\u2019t stress\nabout that hour you\u2019re going to lose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of the positives <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look forward to all the advantages of the time change. You\u2019ll have lighter evenings, you can spend them sat in your garden, picture yourself there. With more hours of daylight, your body will produce more Vitamin D which is great for keeping you healthy. It will be lighter in the mornings, so no more getting up for work in the dark. For the thrifty, think of the money you\u2019ll save. You\u2019ll be spending less on heating and lighting. If you have solar panels, they\u2019ll be getting more use too. You\u2019ll also be safer on the roads. Studies show that there are less road casualties in British Summer Time with better visibility, especially if you drive in the evening. So if you\u2019re getting a new private plate<\/a> for the summer, you can rest assured that you\u2019re much safer going out driving to show it off after the clocks have changed! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
