Every November, when we “fall back,” it seems like gaining an extra hour should make us feel more rested. Yet for many of us, the opposite happens: we feel more tired, groggy, and unfocused.
This has everything to do with your circadian rhythm—your body’s internal clock that controls hormone release, energy, mood, and sleep cycles. When the clocks change, your body needs time to adjust.
Why the Time Change Affects Your Energy
Your brain relies on daylight to know when to be awake and when to wind down.
With shorter days and earlier sunsets, your body:
-
Produces melatonin earlier → causing evening tiredness
-
Produces less serotonin → which can affect mood
-
Experiences lower Vitamin D exposure → which influences immunity and focus
This can lead to:
-
Morning grogginess
-
Afternoon crashes
-
Difficulty falling asleep
-
Mood dips
-
Lower motivation
If you’re feeling “off” this week — you’re not alone.
How to Reset Your Body Naturally
1. Get Light in the Morning
Step outside or near a window within 60 minutes of waking.
Even on cloudy days, natural daylight signals your brain to wake up.
2. Keep Caffeine Early
Try not to have caffeine after 2:00 PM.
Late caffeine pushes your melatonin cycle later into the night.
3. Move Your Body (Gently is Enough)
5–10 minutes of stretching or a light walk can help reset your energy rhythm.
4. Slow Down Your Evenings
Dim screen brightness or use night mode.
A warm shower before bed helps your core temperature lower for better sleep.
5. Keep Sleep & Wake Times Steady
Consistency is the strongest circadian regulator.
Support Your Body from Within
Lifestyle shifts help your rhythm adjust — but targeted nutritional support can make the transition smoother.
Think of supplements as the foundation that helps your body adapt to seasonal rhythm changes.

When You Support Your Rhythm, Balance Returns
If you’re feeling tired, foggy, or slightly lower in mood recently — that’s not a lack of discipline.
It’s biology adjusting to seasonal change.
With small daily habits and the right internal support, your energy and sleep can return to feeling grounded, steady, and natural again.
