In this episode, we break down practical tips to help seniors adjust to daylight saving time and protect their sleep, safety, and overall health during the time change.

You’ll learn:

• What daylight saving time does to the body’s circadian rhythm
•  Why seniors are more sensitive to sleep disruptions and routine changes
•  How to gradually adjust sleep schedules for smoother transitions
•  Why morning light exposure helps reset the internal clock
•  How sleep loss can affect heart health and increase fatigue
•  Simple ways to reduce fall risks after the time change
•  Why consistent routines support better sleep and mood
•  How home care support can help seniors stay safe and independent

Even a one-hour shift can disrupt sleep, increase fall risk, and affect heart health in older adults. This episode explains how families can prepare ahead of time, make small routine adjustments, and support elderly adjustment with simple, practical steps.

If you care for an aging loved one, these strategies will help you manage daylight saving time with less stress and better outcomes.
