☀️⏰ Losing an hour this weekend? You may feel it.

😵 “Springing forward” can throw off your body’s natural rhythm.

Try this:
🌙 Shift bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each night leading up to the change
📱 Limit screens before bed
🌞 Get morning sunlight
😌 Keep your routine consistent

Small changes help your body adjust faster.

👶 And don’t forget the kids! Start moving their bedtime earlier now to avoid extra cranky mornings.

A bedtime routine can help children get the sleep they need, but at least twice a year, that schedule gets disrupted.

🫀 When it comes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), tempo matters.

The American Red Cross recommends a compression rate of 100 - 120 beats per minute, about the rhythm of songs like “Stayin’ Alive.”

Knowing the right beat could make a difference in an emergency.
