It's time to turn your clocks back which can cause sleep disturbances and could possibly lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other health issues. According to the Mayo Clinic, the human brain has a biological clock, also known as a circadian rhythm, that runs on a 24-hour cycle. Whether it is gaining an extra hour or losing an hour of sleep, this causes disruption to the sleep cycle and can be difficult for some people to adjust back to a normal schedule. Here's how to make it an easier transition. Try to get 7 to 8 hours a sleep a night. Exercising especially in the mornings can help you get to sleep more easily in the evening. Also, try doing things that help you relax in the evening such as dimming the lights and reading a book, rather than watching TV or scrolling through your phone. Try to relax your body by having a bath with lavender, or do some stretching or yoga. Get outside when you can for some fresh air and sunlight. Supplement your bodies with Vitamins C, D, zinc, probiotics and fish oil.
