Get ready for an extra hour of Zzzs this November as Daylight Saving Time comes to a close. Find out why we all need to 'fall back'!

As the crisp autumn air rolls in and the days grow shorter, many Canadians are looking forward to that beloved, extra hour of sleep. That's right—Daylight Saving Time (DST) is coming to an end! Mark your calendars for November 3 at 2 a.m., when we’ll take a trip back in time (literally!) and adjust our clocks one hour back. Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, this shift has everyone buzzing about how to make the most of that additional snooze time!

However, not everything about this time change is sunflowers and rainbows. Research shows that the switch can wreak havoc on our sleep cycles, productivity, and even our mood! Almost 40% of Americans anticipate what some call the “Daylight Saving Scaries” as their bodies recalibrate after the time change. This phenomenon ignites a range of bedtime rebellions, causing many to question whether those few extra winks are worth the trouble. Even your cat, who thrives on routine, might give you the side-eye as it tries to adjust to your newly enforced schedule.

So how do we prepare for this annual sleep fiesta? Luckily, there are many tips and tricks to ease the transition, from graceful wind-down routines to experimenting with light exposure. Some have even found creative ways to turn it into family fun—why not host a ‘fall back’ party where everyone shares what they’re looking forward to in the coming winter months? After all, with the season of cozy cuddles, hot drinks, and festive vibes approaching, there's no reason to let the time shift dampen your seasonal cheer!

But before you set your clocks back and dream away, here are two interesting tidbits: Did you know that not everyone participates in Daylight Saving Time? Places like Saskatchewan and parts of British Columbia have opted out entirely! And for those worried about the ‘fall back’ officially signaling the onset of winter’s dark days, fear not—research shows that the switch can also have benefits, such as reducing energy costs and providing an earlier start to morning activities. So, get ready to embrace the changes—after all, an extra hour of sleep is just time well spent!
