Feeling off after the time change? You’re not alone.
When we “fall back” an hour, our internal clocks don’t always adjust right away. The shift can disrupt sleep, energy, and mood — even triggering symptoms of anxiety, depression, or seasonal affective disorder.

This week’s infographic shares simple, science-backed tips to protect your mental and emotional health through the time change.

Small habits—like getting morning sunlight, keeping a consistent sleep schedule, and moving your body—can make a big difference as your circadian rhythm rebalances.

From your trusted partners in mental health across Nebraska, Iowa, and Florida, we’re here to help you move forward—no matter what the clock says. 🕰️
