The less lovely part? Feeling surprisingly tired, groggy or out of sorts for the next few days.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:15px;\">\n        It might only be a one-hour change, but your body clock doesn&#8217;t necessarily see it that way. Suddenly, the time on the clock and the rhythm your body has become used to are slightly out of sync.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f8f6f2;border-left:5px solid #8b6f47;border-radius:12px;padding:30px;margin:30px 0;\">\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b6f47;margin:0 0 12px;\">\n            Quick Answer\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0;color:#333;\">\n            <strong>Feeling more tired after the clocks go back is usually your body adjusting to a change in its circadian rhythm.<\/strong> Most people settle into the new schedule within a day or two, and a few simple changes to light exposure, bedtime and your daytime routine can help make the transition easier.\n        <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <!-- Why the clocks going back can make you tired -->\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:32px;color:#333;margin:55px 0 20px;\">\n        Why Do You Feel Tired When the Clocks Go Back?\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:15px;\">\n        Lucy Ackers, a bed expert at Land of Beds, says the change can temporarily disrupt your circadian rhythm, the internal body clock that helps regulate when you feel awake and when you feel sleepy.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f8f6f2;border:1px solid #e5dfd2;border-radius:14px;padding:32px;margin:30px 0;\">\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b6f47;margin:0 0 14px;\">\n            Expert Insight\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:15px;font-style:italic;line-height:1.9;margin:0;color:#333;\">\n            \u201cWhen the clocks go backwards, our circadian rhythm \u2013 that\u2019s your body\u2019s internal clock \u2013 gets thrown out of whack. Even though it\u2019s just an hour, it can leave you feeling groggy and a bit rubbish, especially come Monday morning.\u201d\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;margin:16px 0 0;\">\n            Lucy Ackers, Bed Expert at Land of Beds\n        <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <!-- How long does it last -->\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:30px;color:#333;margin:55px 0 20px;\">\n        How Long Does It Take to Adjust When the Clocks Go Back?\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:15px;\">\n        The good news is that most people bounce back within a day or two. If you&#8217;ve already got a solid sleep routine, you&#8217;ll probably handle the change more easily.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:15px;\">\n        If you&#8217;re already running on empty, whether that&#8217;s because of work, young children or simply not getting enough sleep, you may notice more tiredness, irritability and difficulty concentrating while your body adjusts.\n    <\/p>\n\n\n    <!-- Tips -->\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:32px;color:#333;margin:60px 0 20px;\">\n        How to Adjust When the Clocks Go Back\n    <\/h2>\n\n    <p style=\"font-size:15px;\">\n        You don&#8217;t need to completely overhaul your routine. A few small changes around the clock change can help your body settle into the new schedule.\n    <\/p>\n\n\n    <!-- Tip 1 -->\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f8f6f2;border:1px solid #e5dfd2;border-radius:14px;padding:30px;margin:30px 0;\">\n\n        <p style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b6f47;margin:0 0 8px;\">\n            01\n        <\/p>\n\n        <h3 style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:23px;color:#333;margin:0 0 14px;\">\n            Start Shifting Your Bedtime Early\n        <\/h3>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:15px;margin:0 0 16px;\">\n            In the days before the clocks change, try going to bed around 10 minutes earlier each night rather than suddenly changing your routine by a full hour.\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:15px;font-style:italic;margin:0;\">\n            \u201cSmall tweaks help your body clock adjust more smoothly. If you just crash your sleep schedule by a full hour overnight, you\u2019ll struggle to fall asleep and end up lying there counting sheep \u2013 or scrolling Instagram, let\u2019s be honest.\u201d\n        <\/p>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;margin:12px 0 0;\">\n            Lucy Ackers, Bed Expert at Land of Beds\n        <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <!-- Tip 2 -->\n\n    <div style=\"background:#f8f6f2;border:1px solid #e5dfd2;border-radius:14px;padding:30px;margin:24px 0;\">\n\n        <p style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#8b6f47;margin:0 0 8px;\">\n            02\n        <\/p>\n\n        <h3 style=\"font-family:'Quicksand',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:23px;color:#333;margin:0 0 14px;\">\n            Get Some Light First Thing\n        <\/h3>\n\n        <p style=\"font-size:15px;margin:0 0 16px;\">\n            As soon as you wake up, expose yourself to light.
