Wondering how to prepare for Daylight Saving Time without overhauling your entire weekend? If the spring time change leaves you groggy, foggy, and dreading Monday, this episode is your game plan.

In the episode, I will walk you through a simple 48-hour buffer you can start the Friday before DST. 

Here is what you will walk away with:

• A clear understanding of why the time change hits harder in midlife  - and why that is completely normal

• A weekend-friendly approach that helps your body adjust gradually so Monday does not feel like a wall

• A research-backed morning strategy that is the single most powerful way to reset your internal clock

SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT  "In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me dwell in safety." Psalm 4:8

Research note: The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends a gradual bedtime shift before the spring time change. A 2025 study in BMC Public Health confirmed morning sunlight as the most impactful factor for circadian rhythm alignment.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Monday's episode covers what to do after the change when you wake up foggy or tired.
