3 TCM Tips To Bounce Back After Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time ended this morning — and if you’re feeling a little off or wondering how your energy will hold up over the next few days, you’re not alone. When our clocks change, so does our rhythm. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), balance comes from syncing with nature — and this week, that means gently helping your body adjust to earlier sunsets and less light.

Here are three simple ways to get your groove back:

1. Eat, sleep, and wake at regular times.

Daylight Saving Time can throw off your circadian rhythm — the internal clock that guides our energy, digestion, and mood. Disruption can lead to fatigue, cravings, weight gain, or even higher blood pressure. Keeping consistent mealtimes and bedtimes helps your body re-sync more quickly.

2. Take a short nap.

Sleep and light changes are two of the biggest culprits behind grogginess and irritability after the time shift — both affect our hormones, mood and energy. A quick 10–15 minute nap in the afternoon may help boost your energy and help your body adjust faster — without keeping you up at night.

3. Treat your feet.

A warm foot bath and gentle foot massage can calm the nervous system and ground your energy. Soak your feet for 10–15 minutes in warm water with mineral salts or your favourite essential oil. Then grab hold of each foot using both hands and slowly press from toes to heels.

Be gentle with yourself as your body resets to nature’s rhythm.
