This should help you adjust to getting up earlier. Open the curtains or blinds in bedrooms as soon as you wake up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have\u00a0a healthy breakfast\u00a0in a well-lit room to expose yourself to sunlight, as early as you can. This should help reset your body&#8217;s internal clock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can, in the morning spend some time outside in the sunlight. Better still,\u00a0exercise outdoors\u00a0in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aim for at least 7 hours&#8217; sleep each night \u2014 more if you are aged under 20.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit how much coffee or other\u00a0caffeinated drinks\u00a0you drink in the evening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put your mobile phone or tablet away at least an hour before bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And look at the bright side: longer days mean more of an opportunity to be outdoors, playing or exercising. A study of more than 23,000 children worldwide found that daylight saving made a small but significant increase to the time kids spend being physically active.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.healthdirect.org.au\/images\/inline\/w700\/pbb-daylight-saving-3a1f39.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday October 6 at 2am, people in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT will move their clocks forward by 1 hour.
