HEALTH & WELLBEING
TIME TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS ONE HOUR FORWARD Clocks are turned one hour forward on Sunday 3 October in ACT, NSW, SA, TAS and VIC. Daylight saving can mess with our body clock and trigger underlying health issues. Although we gain an extra hour of daylight, it usually means losing an hour of sleep. The Sleep Health Foundation has a list of tips to help people prepare and adjust to daylight saving time:
Make the bedroom as bright as possible when you first wake up in the morning. Eat a good breakfast. Go outside in the sunlight in the early mornings. Exercise outside in the mornings. Try to get between seven to nine hours sleep each night. Don’t exercise just before going to bed. Don’t drink coffee, tea or other caffeine drinks in the evening, avoid smoking just before bed or during the night.
Don’t go to bed hungry or too soon after eating a large meal. Go to bed 15-20 minutes earlier for three to four days before putting the clocks forward.
Set your alarm 30 minutes earlier on Saturday and Sunday mornings in preparation for the early start on Monday.
