Every October, the clock change forces us all to rethink our sleep routines. For some, that extra hour is much-needed, but for others it can disrupt the body clock, energy levels and even mood.
On behalf of The Fine Bedding Company, Greg Potter, PhD, talks about how this seasonal shift is actually the perfect opportunity to reset your sleep habits, and top tips on how to do it.
Greg discusses:
- Why the clock changes affect people differently depending on their ‘chronotype’ (morning larks vs night owls).
- How small adjustments such as light exposure, caffeine timing and bedtime routines can make a huge difference.
- Why your sleep environment is just as critical as your schedule.
Greg emphasises that the foundations for restorative rest often comes down to the basics we all overlook: your bedroom set up, and especially your bedding. With October bringing longer, darker nights, choosing the right bedding can help align your body clock, reduce sleep disruption and make the seasonal shift much more balanced.
At The Fine Bedding Company, every product is created with comfort and quality in mind, designed to support your body, minimise night-time disruptions, and transform your bedroom into a space for deep, restorative rest, so you can wake up feeling your very best.
