Summer’s long days and late nights can wreak havoc on your sleep schedule. If you’re feeling the effects now, then you’re not alone.

September is the ideal month to reset your circadian rhythm. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 15 to 20 minutes of early-morning sunlight, reducing screen time after 8:30 p.m. and adding magnesium-rich foods, such as pumpkin seeds or dark leafy greens, into your routine.

Consistent sleep and wake times are key.

Try winding down with a book instead of a scroll, and make your room as dark as possible. Yes, even that blinking router light counts. If you prioritize rest now, then your fall energy will thank you later.
