> Fall back is trending and I dread it every year. My mornings are already a struggle and suddenly it is dark at 5pm again.

What actually moved the needle for you — the bedtime shift, light therapy, blackout curtains, something else?

> Move dinner, not just bedtime

> I work night-market craft fairs until 2am so I have opinions about this. The trick that finally worked: shift dinner 15 minutes earlier each night the week before, not just bedtime.
