Reset Your Body Clock to Help Your Natural Sleep Rhythm Thrive

Are your sleep and wake times all over the place? Struggling to fall asleep at the right time—or wake up refreshed? Don’t worry, your body can relearn healthy rhythms. Let’s reset your internal clock together.

Quick Tips for Resetting

• Expose yourself to natural daylight early: Step outside within an hour of waking. Daylight tells your brain it’s time to be alert.
• Wake up at the same time—even on weekends: This anchors your body clock, even if you had a rough night.
• Go to bed only when sleepy: Avoid lying awake in bed. Let sleepiness—not the clock—lead your bedtime cue.

Mini Wins (£)

• Keep a sleep diary: Track your bedtime, wake time, and how you feel. Patterns will emerge, helping you identify what's working.
• Use a sunrise alarm: Gentle light cues in the morning help train your circadian rhythm without the jolt of sound-based alarms.

Long-Term Support (££–£££)

• Create a morning ritual that includes movement: Stretching, walking, or yoga wakes your body up and reinforces daytime hours.
• Stop caffeine by early afternoon: Even a 3 pm cup of coffee can delay sleep. Opt for herbal teas or decaf if needed.
• Set a consistent wind-down alarm: One hour before bed, begin your wind-down routine—dim lights, screen-free time, quiet activities.
