If you hadn’t heard yet, Daylight Saving Time is coming up on November 1st. If you have a vestibular disorder, that one-hour shift can do a number on your routine, sleep, and symptoms.

I don’t want you or your vestibular system to be caught off guard, which is why I share this info twice a year.

In this episode, I’m walking through exactly how to prepare for the Fall time change in a way that makes sense for your body—with gradual shifts, routine modifications, and practical prep so the morning-of you’re not feeling like your whole world’s been thrown off.

• How “gaining” an hour can still negatively affect your health
• Why consistency in wake and sleep time matters so much with a vestibular disorder
• How to effectively shift your schedule gradually leading up to the time change
• How prepping the night before can be supportive
• Practical modifications for the week of the time change
• How this approach can also work for the Spring time change and travel across time zones

Remember: start small, stay consistent, and your body will thank you.
