πŸ‚β° Fall Back, Sleep Smart! Your Body Will Thank You! β°πŸ‚

Get ready, because Daylight Saving Time is ending this weekend! While we gain a glorious extra hour of sleep 😴 and get to snuggle up in the darker evenings πŸŒ™, this shift can still throw our internal clocks πŸ•°οΈ for a loop! But here's the great news: we can prepare and make this transition smooth sailing!

The CDC emphasizes that consistent, quality sleep is absolutely fundamental for our overall health – boosting our mood πŸ˜„, sharpening our concentration 🧠, and even supercharging our immune system

(Dive deeper into the amazing power of sleep here: https://www.cdc.gov/sleep/about/index.html )

This week is the perfect time to optimize your sleep hygiene! πŸ›ŒπŸ§Ό By establishing stellar habits now, you can gently ease your body into the time change without a hitch, and really make that extra hour count!

Top Tips for a Smoother "Fall Back" Transition:

πŸ’‘Be Consistent: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every single day – yes, even on weekends! πŸ—“οΈ This helps stabilize your circadian rhythm.
πŸ’‘Soak Up the Sun: Try to get some natural light exposure in the morning β˜€οΈ, especially as evenings get darker earlier. It helps regulate your body clock!
πŸ’‘Wind Down: Craft a calming, relaxing routine before bed. Think warm bath πŸ›€, reading a good book πŸ“š, or some gentle stretching πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ. Bye-bye bright screens an hour before bed! πŸ“΅
πŸ’‘Optimize Your Environment: Transform your bedroom into a true sleep sanctuary! πŸŒ™ Keep it dark ⚫, quiet 🀫, and cool ❄️ for optimal rest.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§β€πŸ‘¦ Parents, here’s some good news this Halloween! πŸŽƒπŸ’«

Even though it can seem like to***co use is everywhere, the truth is that most teens are choosing to focus on fun β€” friends, costumes, and treats 🍫 β€” not to***co 🚭.

If your teen (ages 13–17) is using to***co and wants to quit, My Life My Quit offers free, confidential help that’s designed just for them. πŸ’¬βœ¨
They can text β€œStart My Quit” to 36072 πŸ“± or visit 🌐 mylifemyquit.orgοΏΌ to connect with a caring coach who understands what they’re going through.

Let’s support our teens in making healthy choices β€” today and every day. πŸ’™
