Spring will kick off this weekend as the clocks move forward by one hour.
The change from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to British Summer Time (BST) will come as the days become longer than night for the first time in 2022.
And while we’re excited to be treated to more sunshine in the afternoon and evening, the first few days following the clock change can be a bit of a struggle.
Luckily, a behavioural expert has given Hull Live some tips in avoiding feeling sluggish during the early days of British Summer Time.
Darren Stanton - a former police officer turned media consultant - has listed a number of things that will help us with the transition.
Speaking on behalf of online casino Slingo, he said: “The hour we technically lose in this transition can have a dramatic effect on our bodies and wellbeing the following day. Some people may be left feeling sluggish, lethargic and experiencing low moods.
“As humans we have a 24-hour internal clock in our brain which we call the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is very susceptible to change, which is why we tend to get things such as jet lag when we change different time zones or lack sleep. This has a profound effect upon the body‘s ability to function properly.
“The body needs a little bit of time to readjust and it can sometimes make us feel very strange. However, there are changes that can be made to avoid these unpleasant feelings when the clocks change.”
