Twice a year one tiny hour becomes the center of many people’s attention. Its impact is only felt mildly for some but can be problematic for others. The good news is you can take steps to help prepare your body during the time change! Daylight savings time happens at the same year over year. This provides a unique opportunity to add support to your health routine in advance. That means that it’s less likely to have an unwanted impact on your health!

  • Stock up on your Vimergy Vitamins & Supplements: 
    • Vimergy 5-HTP: is the immediate precursor of serotonin and melatonin. It is readily converted to serotonin all through the body.* It easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and increases synthesis of melatonin in the brain to support sleep quality and stability.* 
    • Vimergy Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha belongs to a class of herbs called adaptogens. These herbs help us adapt to our environment. Adaptogenic herbs can help bring the body into balance. They can help lift energy or support relaxation depending on what is needed.*
    • Vimergy Adapto-B Complex: Adapto-B Complex is a blend of 8 active B vitamins. It is enhanced with botanicals like rhodiola and hawthorn berry making it the perfect time change support.* This formula is designed to support mental and physical energy and stamina.* It also helps support a healthy mood, sharp cognitive function, and a balanced response to stress.*
  • Adjust sleep and wake times slowly.
    • Going to bed and getting up earlier slowly can help make the adjustment less abrupt. Adjusting your sleep and wake times by 20 minutes earlier for two weeks prior can help make the adjustment easier.
  • Prioritize exposure to natural daylight.
    • Light is the main regulator of the circadian rhythm. Ensuring continued exposure to natural daylight can help your internal clock adjust to time changes. It also helps your body acclimate to the new timing of light and dark.
  • Ensure a robust nutrition plan
    • Good nutrition is vital for all aspects of well-being, including healthy sleep. Healthy diets with lots of fruits and vegetables have been linked to better sleep.1
The end of daylight savings is in the fall. It is not associated with as much sleep disruption due to “falling back” and gaining an extra hour. However, it can still impact internal cycles and rhythms that can cause challenges adjusting to new wake-up times. Getting your body in balance for a time change can be easier with Vimergy on your team! Daylight savings times can be a great reminder to assess and fine-tune sleep hygiene.
