Hello bedful friends. If you’re like me and living on the east coast, your body has been fully running on winter mode, which has probably meant less movement, more screen time and the kind of weekend energy that peaks with finding a new show to binge. Winter hibernation is a very normal reaction, especially when the snow drifts outside your door reach 40 inches (which was the case here in The Hamptons, NY).

Regardless of your time zone and climate, the longer daylight hours of “Springing forward” can shift your sleep timing to later by keeping you more alert in the evenings. This means the old routine of collapsing at 9pm with your phone is about to stop working in your favor anyway. And so, my recommendation is to do yourself a favor: start trading Sunday’s inevitable “doom scrolling session” for a long walk, more dinners with friends, and just more time outside where the sun can remind your circadian rhythm what it's actually there for. The payoff is likely going be surprisingly worth it; more daylight activity means better, deeper sleep at night and the kind of morning energy that doesn't require multiple taps of that all-too-seductive snooze button.

Most of the doctors and sleep researchers I tend to deep-dive into agree: Spring is a particularly good time to reset your sleep hygiene, especially as the weather warms up and the days get longer, increasing your exposure to natural light. Escape your desk, your house, wherever you are, and get out there…get daylight on your face as much as you can and as quickly as you can daily. The bottom line is, Winter is just a season--it passes. So, this is your opp to reframe your sleep wellness routine and your sleep style…start upgrading your bedroom with new Spring tones and textures (say hello to crinkled linen, cotton and hemp!) and start getting excited about finally opening a window!
