🕑 Daylight Savings & Brain Health
“Shorter days don’t just affect your calendar, they can affect your brain.”
The time change can disrupt sleep patterns, impact focus, and even shift your mood. At Swaid Clinic, we understand how these seasonal changes influence brain health.
HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS.
1. Get morning sunlight
Open your blinds as soon as you wake up or go for a short walk outside to help regulate your body’s internal clock.
2. Stay active
Exercise, even for 20–30 minutes a day, can boost mood and energy levels when daylight is limited.
3. Keep a consistent sleep schedule
Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to help your body adjust to the time change.
4. Use light exposure strategically
Try a light therapy lamp in the morning or keep indoor spaces bright to mimic natural sunlight.
5. Prioritize mental health
Shorter days can affect mood. Practice mindfulness, stay social, and reach out for help if you feel down.
6. Eat well and stay hydrated
Balanced meals and proper hydration can help maintain steady energy throughout darker months.
