The clocks are springing forward! While losing an hour of sleep can be an adjustment, Daylight Saving Time also brings longer, brighter days—perfect for making the most of your apartment or townhome. Here are some simple ways to ease into the time change and enjoy the extra daylight.

Ease Into the Time Change

Start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before the clock change by going to bed 15-30 minutes earlier. Exposing yourself to natural light in the morning can also help reset your internal clock.

Let in More Natural Light

Longer days mean more sunshine! Open your blinds or sheer curtains during the day to brighten your space naturally. If your apartment has a balcony or patio, take advantage of it with morning coffee or an evening wind-down.

Stay Energized Throughout the Day

The time change can leave you feeling sluggish. Combat this by staying hydrated, getting outside for fresh air, and incorporating movement into your day—even a short walk around your community can boost your energy.

Create a Relaxing Evening Routine

With more daylight, it’s easy to stay up later. Wind down in the evenings with warm lighting, relaxing scents, or screen-free time before bed to help your body adjust.

Enjoy More Time Outdoors

Use the longer evenings to explore your neighborhood, take a walk, or enjoy outdoor spaces in your community.

Adjusting to the time change can take a few days, but with these small changes, you’ll be enjoying the longer, sunnier days in no time!
