Springing Forward: Preparing for Daylight Saving Time with Levoit Sprout
-
1 min read
As the sunshine begins to last a little longer each passing day, we can all feel daylight saving time knocking at our doorstep. The anticipation of longer days, warm weather, and the approach of summertime is fully exhilarating. But with that excitement also comes the double-edged sword of losing an hour of sleep, which can leave many of us feeling groggy and out of sync with our routines.
With Levoit’s Sprout series, you can optimize your home environment and make the transition smoother. We’ll explain how in a bit but first let’s dig deeper into how daylight saving time messes with our internal rhythm.
Why Daylight Saving Time Affects Our Sleep
Losing that precious hour of sleep is more than a minor inconvenience. It can throw off our entire sleep-wake cycles, which leads to changes in mood, productivity slumps, and negative impacts to our overall wellness. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, adjusting to DST can disrupt our circadian rhythm, which is the body’s internal clock that regulates sleep and wakefulness. This is why it's essential to give your body the adequate tools it needs to ease into this shift rather than struggle against it.
But fret not, there are a bevy of helpful tips to ease your transition into daylight saving time. According to WebMD, try gradually shifting your bedtime to adjust for the lost hour, establishing a more restful environment to fit your needs, or creating morning and nighttime rituals. Also, consistent routines are key to training your body for a post-spring forward wind down, which is precisely where Levoit’s Sprout Humidifier and Air Purifier thrive. Let’s dive in.
How Levoit’s Sprout Series Helps You Spring Forward
The Levoit Sprout Humidifier and Air Purifier are packed with features that improve both air quality and your ability to enhance your bedtime routine. One of the standout features is its smart scheduling system, designed to make it easier for you to manage your home’s air quality on your terms, especially when preparing for the disruption of daylight saving time. Here’s how you can use it to your advantage.
Preset Scheduling to Optimize Your Bedtime Routine
Having control over the humidity and air quality in your room can make a significant difference. With the VeSync app, you can set the Sprout Humidifier to run at specific times, making it easier for you to wake up to your ideal humidity level even after the time change. The key here is to set the humidifier to activate an hour or so before bedtime, so that you can drift off in your personal oasis where the air isn’t too dry or too stuffy.
You can also set schedules for the Sprout Air Purifier, complementing the humidifier by removing dust, dander, and other irritants to help keep you breathing fresh air. Together, these devices can promote a restful bedtime routine after losing that hour to daylight saving time.
Consistency Is Key
Setting up a consistent environment for your sleep is one of the best ways to combat the effects of daylight saving time. According to Kaiser Permanente, creating a relaxing pre-bedtime routine and sticking to it even as the time changes will help your body adjust more smoothly. Levoit’s scheduling feature helps you create these consistent routines so you can maintain your ideal bedtime routine. Whether you’re adding a little extra moisture to your bedroom with the humidifier or purifying the air, these routines will help you ease the change of daylight saving time.
Ease Into the Transition
While it's tempting to make lots of changes all at once to fight off daylight saving’s ill effects, Kaiser Permanente recommends gradually changing your sleep schedule. Try setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier each day so that losing an hour isn’t so abrupt to your sleep schedule.
Get Quality Sleep
Pollen, dust, and pet dander can wreak havoc on your ability to fall asleep, leading to restless nights. The Sprout Air Purifier uses a 3-stage filtration system that reduces airborne particles, which can help minimize the impact of these irritants and create a fresher sleep environment, especially important when recovering after an intense workout.
Spring Forward With Confidence
With the help of Levoit’s Sprout series, you can regain control of your bedtime routine before the momentous change that is daylight saving time. Sprout’s scheduling feature makes it easy to create a tranquil atmosphere for winding down, whether you’re adjusting to later sunsets or simply preparing for a change in season.
As we get ready to spring forward, don’t just set your clocks—set yourself up for success. Whether you’re looking to improve your bedtime routine, breathe fresh air, or simply stay comfortable, Levoit has you covered.
