Clocks go forward

Every year when the clocks go forward it feels like a bit of a cheat. Suddenly, we have an extra hour of daylight, but it also means that we've lost an hour of sleep. So, what's the best way to deal with this annual event?

First of all, it's important to remember that you're not alone. Millions of people around the world are experiencing the same thing. So, if you're feeling a bit groggy or out of sorts, it's perfectly normal.

The best way to adjust to the time change is to get plenty of sunlight during the day. This will help to reset your body's natural clock. You can also try going to bed and waking up a little earlier than usual. This will help you to get back into a regular sleep-wake cycle.

If you're still having trouble adjusting, there are a few other things you can try. You can try taking a nap during the day, or avoiding caffeine and alcohol before bed. You can also try using a sleep mask or earplugs to block out light and noise.

If you're really struggling to adjust to the time change, you may want to see a doctor. They can help you to rule out any underlying medical conditions that may be causing your sleep problems.

In the meantime, here are a few tips to help you make the most of the extra hour of daylight:

• Get outside and enjoy the sunshine.
• Go for a walk or run.
• Have a picnic in the park.
• Read a book on the porch.
• Spend time with friends and family.

The time change can be a bit of a nuisance, but it's also a chance to take a step back and enjoy the simple things in life.

So, make the most of it!
