Just as you were starting to get used to the idea of fall and the long to-do list that is likely coming your way in regard to the holidays, you woke up one morning and remembered: Daylight saving time is fast approaching, which means it’s going to throw everything out of whack! Now, not only do we lose our lovely warmer weather but it’s also going to feel like it’s time for bed the second the work day is over. Of course, we will get used to it … it may just take a bit of time. The good news for today? Fortunately, when it comes to figuring out how to adjust your smile care to this sudden shift, our Virginia Beach, VA team is here to guide you! Now that’s certainly something to smile about!
Turn The Lights On
Do you usually find that you end up nodding off early when we “fall back” in November because as your house gets dark, you get sleepy and conk out on the sofa? This might be a nice and cozy way to enter into this time change. However, it’s not going to mean good news for usual smile care efforts. If you notice that it’s primarily the early darkness that’s got you disoriented, remember our team’s very simple suggestion: Turn on the lights! When you keep your home well lit, you can often convince your brain that it’s still daytime! You won’t have to do this until spring, of course. Just until you have become acclimated to the change. In the meantime, you’ll be conscious and ready to brush and floss before you drift off to dreamland.
Set Your Schedule Back, Too
If you usually head home, eat dinner, and then head out to shop, for example, you may want to switch things around. It may be time to start shopping before you head home, so that you are still aided by the help of the sunlight if you prefer shopping before dark. What are we getting at here, you ask? Well, when you find that you’re feeling like it’s bedtime by the time you get home, thanks to daylight saving time, you may find that getting to the store, purchasing the smile care products you need, and more becomes challenging. Rather than stressing or promoting problems like decay, just shift things according to what you need! For anything else, ask us for advice!
