More time in your day, less sense in your schedule!
Good morning, Collingwood! Today’s the day we play time traveler and turn back our clocks. Ah, it's that time of year again when we play the game of "Is it too early to go to bed or is it just 4:00 pm?" Thanks, Daylight Saving Time, for making us question our entire existence twice a year!
Here are some tips to help you with the time travelling.
1. Prep for the Time Heist
If you forgot to set your clocks back last night, you might be reading this from the future—or is it the past? Don’t worry, you still technically have time to go back in time. Just spin those clock hands and marvel as you gain an hour you already spent.
2. Sunlight: Get It While It Lasts
With the sun making itself scarce, you’ll want to soak up every bit you can. If the sun is playing hide and seek, consider getting a light therapy lamp to trick your body into thinking it’s sunny 24/7.
3. Screen Curfew
Turn off those screens early tonight. If you find yourself reaching for your phone, remember that no amount of scrolling will bring the sunlight back.
4. Keep Moving
Use that extra hour wisely! A brisk walk through our beautiful local scenery can help reset your internal clock. Just make sure you’re home before it’s so dark you need a flashlight to find your front door.
5. Master the Dinner Dance
Eat earlier to give your body time to wind down. If you’re feeling adventurous, try dinner by candlelight to really confuse your internal clock.
6. Cave Mode: Activate
Blackout curtains? Check. Cool temperature? Check. Bear-free? Double-check. Make your bedroom a sanctuary for sleep—or for just lying there wondering why we still do this whole clock-changing thing.
7. Routine Reigns Supreme
Stick to your usual bedtime routine, even though it feels an hour off. Consistency is your friend, particularly when time is flexing its weirdness muscle.
8. Embrace the Weirdness
Feeling a little off? You’re not alone. Share your strangest Daylight Saving experiences with friends. Misery loves company, but it loves laughter even more.
Sign Off
There you go! You’re ready to tackle the clock change like a champ—or at least like someone who won’t be late for breakfast tomorrow. Enjoy the quirks of the day, take everything in stride, and remember: it’s the perfect excuse for a little extra coffee. Cheers to longer nights and our wonderful community spirit here in Collingwood!
