It's that time of the year again when the weather cools, the leaves turn colors and the clocks jump backward. For many of us, the end of daylight savings means a rewarding extra hour of sleep as we rewind our clocks on Nov. 3. However, that one-hour difference can wreak havoc on schedules and is incredibly impactful on early risers.
The good news is that the sleep-aid market has exploded over the past few years and people increasingly prioritize the importance of a good night's rest. Studies say good sleep improves your brain performance, mood and health. Not getting enough sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. But good sleep is only part of the battle – for people who are up super early, the end of daylight savings means dealing with prolonged darkness. A sunrise alarm clock is a great product to consider if you are an early morning riser.
Here are five other products that can help you adjust to the end of daylight savings, get you sound sleep and help you wake up:
