In Germany, the clock is changed twice a year: in spring by one hour before summer time, in autumn by one hour back to winter time. Who maintains the old rhythm to the last and experiences the change abruptly, can suffer from sleep disturbances. The risk of accidents and illness is then increased, and your own performance is also reduced.
If, on the other hand, you slowly prepare for the time changeover at an early stage, you can avoid such problems. We will show you how to do this using an example of switching to summer time.
A seven-hour sleep time from 22 o’clock to 5 o’clock is normally assumed. Step by step, we will go to bed earlier and get up earlier:
– Wednesday: 21:45 o’clock to bed
– Thursday: 04:45 get up and go to bed at 21:45
– Friday: 04:30 am get up and go to bed at 21:30 am
– Saturday: get up at 04:15 and go to bed at 21:15 (this night the clock will be set forward by one hour!)
– Sunday: 05:00 o’clock get up and go to bed at 22 o’clock
– Monday: 05:00 a.m. get up
Of course, these time intervals can also be applied to other times that are individually more suitable for you – this is only an example of the step-by-step adjustment.
