Daylight saving time has a way of throwing everyone off balance. Losing an hour might not seem like much, but it can leave us feeling groggy, unmotivated, and struggling to keep up. Instead of just pushing through the fatigue, what if we used this seasonal shift as a chance to reset and recharge?
According to Dr. Beth Malow, neurologist and sleep expert at Vanderbilt University, the time change affects our circadian rhythm, which regulates our sleep-wake cycle. She emphasizes that even small disruptions can impact productivity, mood, and overall well-being.
How can we stay energized as the seasons change?
✅ Get natural sunlight early in the day to help reset your internal clock
✅ Prioritize consistent sleep to avoid the dreaded energy slump
✅ Stay hydrated and fuel up with nutrient-rich foods for steady energy
✅ Move your body with a quick walk or stretch to shake off sluggishness
✅ Give yourself grace and patience as your body adjusts
At Rhyno Healthcare Solutions, we believe in balance, resilience, and adapting to change. Whether it is shifting to daylight saving time or navigating new challenges in healthcare IT, success comes from being proactive, staying flexible, and finding ways to thrive.
