When Candy Meets Clocks: How Halloween & Daylight Savings Time Wreck Your Sleep | Episode 7
In this episode of The Healthy Sleep Podcast, brothers John and David Grove tackle two of fall’s biggest sleep disruptors — Halloween and Daylight Savings Time. From late-night sugar rushes to time-change grogginess, they break down why these seasonal shifts can leave you feeling “slumpy” and how to bounce back fast.
They share personal stories, practical strategies, and a few laughs along the way — including the infamous “candy tax” and how to beat the post-Halloween crash. Whether you’re wrangling trick-or-treaters or adjusting to that extra hour, this episode will help you keep your sleep (and sanity) on track.
Key Takeaways
- Sugar before bed spikes your energy, then crashes your sleep cycle.
- Kids consume an average of 3 cups of sugar on Halloween night.
- Chocolate adds caffeine to the mix — a double whammy for restlessness.
- Set a “candy curfew”: stop sweets at least 2–3 hours before bed.
- Hydrate and eat a real meal (chili’s a fall favorite!) before trick-or-treating.
- The end of Daylight Savings throws off your circadian rhythm for several days.
- Gradually adjust bedtime by 15 minutes leading up to the time change.
- Your body clock doesn’t shift as easily as your wall clock — be patient!
- A consistent sleep environment and quality mattress make transition weeks easier.
- Sleep is self-care — when you rest well, everyone around you benefits.
Actionable Sleep Tips from this Episode
- Set a candy curfew: Stop Halloween snacking 2–3 hours before bedtime.
- Stay hydrated: Water helps balance sugar and prevent sleep disruption.
- Plan a hearty meal: Eat before trick-or-treating to minimize candy overload.
- Ease into time changes: Adjust bedtime and wake-up time by 15 minutes nightly before the switch.
- Don’t stay up for your “extra hour.” Use it to get real rest — not one more episode.
- Make your bed a sanctuary: A comfortable mattress and pillow make every night’s rest more restorative.

You got to help, help them separate their
0:00:01.890,0:00:03.610
candy out and check it, make sure it's
0:00:03.610,0:00:04.530
-safe and all that.
-[popping sound]
0:00:04.910,0:00:06.430
And you know, I mean, you do have
0:00:06.430,0:00:08.610
your favorite pieces that they bring in and
0:00:08.610,0:00:10.970
you know, I mean, it's kind of like
0:00:10.970,0:00:11.470
a tax.
0:00:11.550,0:00:12.550
I'll take 10%.

Welcome back to The Healthy Sleep podcast by
0:00:32.350,0:00:32.910
MattressGrove.
0:00:33.490,0:00:34.310
I'm David.
0:00:34.430,0:00:35.150
This is John.
0:00:35.470,0:00:36.010
We're brothers.
0:00:36.170,0:00:38.690
We're owners of MattressGrove and we're excited
0:00:38.690,0:00:39.410
to be here.
0:00:39.950,0:00:41.150
Greensboro, North Carolina!
0:00:41.650,0:00:42.230
Yes, we are in
0:00:42.310,0:00:43.870
Greensboro, North Carolina, right here in the MattressGrove
0:00:43.870,0:00:44.490
factory.
0:00:44.630,0:00:45.130
Absolutely.
0:00:45.150,0:00:47.190
Right here in our, our great studio this
0:00:47.190,0:00:49.890
week, we're going to unpack and talk about
0:00:49.890,0:00:52.630
two major disruptors that are coming up.
0:00:52.770,0:00:54.290
Uh, one being Halloween.
0:00:54.970,0:00:59.290
You got sugar, excitement, ghosts, goblins, all that.
0:00:59.770,0:01:02.650
And also the same week, this is doesn't
0:01:02.650,0:01:04.069
happen all the time, but the same week
0:01:04.069,0:01:05.870
we fall forward.
0:01:06.210,0:01:07.710
No, yes, we fall back.
0:01:08.110,0:01:10.350
We spring forward, we fall back.
0:01:10.970,0:01:13.410
But if we fall back, that means we
0:01:13.410,0:01:14.150
get an extra hour.
0:01:14.210,0:01:15.150
So why would that be a problem?
0:01:15.250,0:01:15.890
We'll talk about that.
0:01:16.350,0:01:17.750
-Well, how are you doing today?
-Man,
0:01:17.770,0:01:18.430
I'm doing good.
0:01:18.590,0:01:20.230
I didn't get the greatest amount of sleep,
0:01:20.330,0:01:22.410
but I had some really good sleep last
0:01:22.410,0:01:22.810
night.
0:01:22.810,0:01:25.770
I was telling Meredith earlier over here, Meredith's
0:01:25.770,0:01:29.070
running all of our, our, our video and
0:01:29.070,0:01:29.450
audio.
0:01:29.450,0:01:30.830
So if any of our video and audio
0:01:30.830,0:01:32.150
is bad, we just blame it on Meredith.
0:01:32.570,0:01:33.450
It's her fault.
0:01:33.610,0:01:36.310
Anyway, it was crazy because, um, I like
0:01:36.310,0:01:38.450
was, I thought I was waking up or
0:01:38.450,0:01:41.930
I was woken up, um, barely, but it
0:01:41.930,0:01:42.990
was one of those times I would think,
0:01:43.130,0:01:44.130
my alarm's getting me to go off.
0:01:44.470,0:01:45.050
Should I get up?
0:01:45.890,0:01:49.170
And one thing about my mattress, I just
0:01:49.170,0:01:49.830
love it.
0:01:49.910,0:01:51.170
So I love to go to bed at
0:01:51.170,0:01:53.550
night. And if my alarm hadn't gone off
0:01:53.550,0:01:56.830
yet, I just was just enjoying it a
0:01:56.830,0:01:57.330
-little bit more.
-Yep.
0:01:57.730,0:02:01.210
Well, I went into some deep REM sleep
0:02:01.210,0:02:03.090
and then my alarm went off.
0:02:03.270,0:02:06.370
So I had this vivid dream, craziest dream,
0:02:06.450,0:02:07.330
and they're all crazy, right?
0:02:07.410,0:02:07.910
-It didn't make sense.
-Oh yeah.
0:02:08.690,0:02:10.590
And I can't really just, I can't remember
0:02:10.590,0:02:11.090
it now.
0:02:11.130,0:02:12.510
I should have, I should have written it
0:02:12.510,0:02:14.350
down. 'Cause when I woke up, I could remember
0:02:14.350,0:02:16.790
it. And it was people from like 20 years
0:02:16.790,0:02:17.210
ago.
0:02:17.210,0:02:17.930
And you know what?
0:02:17.930,0:02:20.030
I checked my ring, um, you know, which
0:02:20.030,0:02:21.170
I'm trying to check.
0:02:21.250,0:02:23.510
I'm trying to see if it's really working.
0:02:23.750,0:02:25.090
You know, how does it work?
0:02:25.430,0:02:27.370
Uh, it said I was an REM sleep
0:02:27.370,0:02:30.510
for like 20 minutes right before I woke
0:02:30.510,0:02:30.890
up.
0:02:30.890,0:02:32.190
I mean like, boom, my alarm went off.
0:02:32.230,0:02:33.670
I woke up and I was, you know,
0:02:33.690,0:02:35.190
it was a perfect situation.
0:02:35.750,0:02:38.690
-Not good for sleep necessarily...
-Right.
-...because I was
0:02:38.690,0:02:39.690
really groggy.
0:02:39.690,0:02:40.530
But when I looked at it, I was
0:02:40.530,0:02:41.710
like, well, that's why I was groggy.
0:02:41.730,0:02:43.790
'Cause I was in that REM, that sleep.
0:02:43.870,0:02:45.230
And when I came out of it, it
0:02:45.230,0:02:46.330
would just take me a little while to
0:02:46.330,0:02:46.830
wake up.
0:02:46.890,0:02:50.190
So I'm not slumpy, but if I, if
0:02:50.190,0:02:51.350
I have another night like that, I'm going
0:02:51.350,0:02:52.010
-to be slumpy tomorrow.
-You'll be
0:02:52.010,0:02:54.050
-slumpy tomorrow.
-But it'll be Saturday cause we're shooting on
0:02:54.050,0:02:54.470
Friday.
0:02:54.470,0:02:55.470
-So-
-Yeah, that's right.
-Yeah,
0:02:55.730,0:02:57.450
-exactly.
-You can, you can, you'll make up for
0:02:57.450,0:02:58.370
it. You'll be there.
0:02:58.430,0:02:58.950
I'll be there.
0:02:58.970,0:02:59.410
I'll be there.
0:02:59.410,0:03:00.090
I think I'll be there.
0:03:00.150,0:03:02.010
I'll get some, I'll get good sleep tonight
0:03:02.010,0:03:02.510
-for sure.
-Yeah
0:03:02.810,0:03:03.310
Man.
0:03:03.370,0:03:04.550
I went to bed.
0:03:04.650,0:03:06.410
I got to bed like 8, 8:30-9
0:03:06.410,0:03:07.430
o'clock last night.
0:03:07.790,0:03:10.450
Um, and man, it was the weirdest thing
0:03:10.450,0:03:10.970
this morning.
0:03:11.150,0:03:12.710
My daughter she woke up and she had
0:03:12.710,0:03:13.230
to go to work.
0:03:13.330,0:03:15.350
She was up at 5, but I was
0:03:15.350,0:03:18.470
up like 10 minutes before her and I
0:03:18.470,0:03:20.030
was just laying there and I, and I
0:03:20.030,0:03:22.450
felt so refreshed and so relaxed.
0:03:22.630,0:03:24.030
And I was like, but I don't need
0:03:24.030,0:03:24.710
to get up yet.
0:03:25.410,0:03:26.710
But my eyes were wide open.
0:03:26.870,0:03:28.430
And I was just, I was just enjoying
0:03:28.430,0:03:29.150
laying there.
0:03:29.270,0:03:30.630
Like I said, yeah, I have a very
0:03:30.630,0:03:31.390
comfortable mattress.
0:03:31.790,0:03:32.790
I love my mattress.
0:03:33.010,0:03:34.810
So I was just sitting there enjoying where
0:03:34.810,0:03:35.390
I was.
0:03:35.670,0:03:36.950
And I actually did get a new pillow
0:03:36.950,0:03:37.450
too.
0:03:37.890,0:03:40.470
-Ooooooo!
-And it's got a little cooling sensation to
0:03:40.470,0:03:42.530
-it.
-Oh yeah
-So I moved it just a little bit
0:03:42.530,0:03:43.930
and I was like, Oh, this is so
0:03:43.930,0:03:44.430
-comfortable.
-Yeah.
0:03:44.870,0:03:47.190
I was able to just to relax this
0:03:47.190,0:03:49.470
morning before I had to do anything else.
0:03:49.470,0:03:50.950
And I didn't really, I just laid there
0:03:50.950,0:03:51.810
and kind of meditated.
0:03:52.150,0:03:53.750
-Yeah.
-Didn't really think about anything.
0:03:53.930,0:03:54.610
Just relaxed.
0:03:54.830,0:03:56.390
Yeah, I know neither one of us
0:03:56.390,0:03:57.850
probably had too much sugar last night.
0:03:59.970,0:04:01.850
If we would have, it would have, it
0:04:01.850,0:04:03.070
would have disrupted our sleep.
0:04:03.210,0:04:03.530
Right.
0:04:03.530,0:04:04.030
Exactly.
0:04:04.210,0:04:06.090
-I mean-
-Halloween's coming up, right?
0:04:07.870,0:04:10.290
And Halloween and all the things that happen
0:04:10.290,0:04:12.430
and how it, how, what does it do
0:04:12.430,0:04:12.990
to you?
0:04:13.050,0:04:15.269
You know, cause it's an event that happens
0:04:15.269,0:04:17.029
and happens at night.
0:04:17.390,0:04:19.730
So, you know, how's that impact sleep and
0:04:19.730,0:04:20.149
stuff?
0:04:20.149,0:04:24.370
And there was a article that sleep.com
0:04:24.370,0:04:27.010
put out and they said that the kids
0:04:27.010,0:04:32.090
actually trick or treaters take in what's equivalent,
0:04:32.210,0:04:33.890
like three cups.
0:04:34.130,0:04:34.750
How much is that?
0:04:34.790,0:04:35.470
That's a lot.
0:04:35.710,0:04:36.850
Three cups of sugar.
0:04:37.010,0:04:38.250
One, two three.
[Holds up 3 cups]
0:04:39.270,0:04:40.070
Good Lord.
0:04:40.630,0:04:43.190
-Can you imagine?
-That much sugar like, like granular sugar?
0:04:43.450,0:04:44.170
Granular sugar.
0:04:44.330,0:04:44.710
Wow.
0:04:44.710,0:04:46.550
You can imagine what that would do to
0:04:46.550,0:04:47.990
your system right before you try to go
0:04:47.990,0:04:48.430
to bed.
0:04:48.430,0:04:49.290
That's a lot of sugar.
0:04:49.410,0:04:52.310
Yeah. And so the sugar, um, it, you know,
0:04:52.310,0:04:54.550
spikes your, your brain, right?
0:04:54.550,0:04:57.490
It gives you this huge energy and then
0:04:57.490,0:04:58.130
you drop.
0:04:58.390,0:05:00.470
If you don't mitigate that and get enough
0:05:00.470,0:05:03.470
time before you go to sleep after eating
0:05:03.470,0:05:05.070
all that candy, it doesn't matter whether you're
0:05:05.070,0:05:06.510
a child or you are an adult.
0:05:06.630,0:05:07.830
Of course we're talking about children here because
0:05:07.830,0:05:10.090
-we know...
-Right.
-...we know most of the children
0:05:10.090,0:05:11.130
eat candy.
0:05:11.210,0:05:12.330
I think the adults might have beers.
0:05:12.430,0:05:14.230
You got to help, help them separate their
0:05:14.230,0:05:15.730
candy out and check it and make sure
0:05:15.730,0:05:16.810
it's safe and all that.
0:05:17.250,0:05:18.770
And you know, I mean, you do have
0:05:18.770,0:05:20.990
your favorite pieces that they bring in and
0:05:20.990,0:05:23.310
you know, I mean, it's kind of like
0:05:23.310,0:05:23.810
a tax.
0:05:23.950,0:05:24.870
I'll take 10%.
0:05:24.870,0:05:25.530
Oh, absolutely.
0:05:25.690,0:05:26.970
Yeah. You're going to sleep in the house tonight,
0:05:27.070,0:05:27.730
right?
That's right.
0:05:27.830,0:05:29.390
You know, it's, it's fun to walk around
0:05:29.390,0:05:31.850
and see all the different costumes and all
0:05:31.850,0:05:33.670
that. But all those costumes, I mean, that's excitement
0:05:33.670,0:05:36.210
and energy that, you know, kids, they don't,
0:05:36.290,0:05:38.510
they just, I mean, they can't really take
0:05:38.510,0:05:40.210
all that in and then go to sleep.
0:05:40.510,0:05:41.510
One of some of the things I read
0:05:41.510,0:05:44.130
was definitely make sure you get, you finish
0:05:44.130,0:05:46.350
eating your candy two to three hours in
0:05:46.350,0:05:47.650
advance of going to sleep.
0:05:48.290,0:05:51.410
So trick or treat early and, and eat
0:05:51.410,0:05:54.130
your candy early, but you know, then get
0:05:54.130,0:05:55.230
you two or three hours and then get
0:05:55.230,0:05:58.130
some type of a snack meal that, that
0:05:58.130,0:05:59.850
you can kind of calm down with.
0:06:00.070,0:06:01.610
I think those are, those are kind of
0:06:01.610,0:06:03.590
the key things is time.
0:06:03.730,0:06:04.970
-Yeah
-Time does everything for sleep.
0:06:05.170,0:06:07.390
Well, and I mean trying and trying to
0:06:07.390,0:06:09.150
have a meal like that beforehand is a
0:06:09.150,0:06:12.030
-little difficult...
-Yeah.
-...to try to figure out how
0:06:12.030,0:06:12.650
to do that.
0:06:12.650,0:06:14.970
So, you know, usually Halloween gets a little
0:06:14.970,0:06:15.470
chilly, so...
0:06:15.590,0:06:19.310
-Chili!
-Chili would be good.
-Chili would be a good meal.
0:06:19.510,0:06:20.230
Oh yeah.
0:06:20.250,0:06:21.370
Chili's always good for Halloween.
0:06:21.570,0:06:22.410
-Yup, exactly.
-Yeah.
0:06:22.550,0:06:24.490
Hey, cook that outside on your, on your
0:06:24.490,0:06:25.930
porch, on your driveway.
0:06:26.210,0:06:26.790
That's right.
0:06:27.090,0:06:27.750
And hydrate.
0:06:27.810,0:06:28.170
Yeah.
0:06:28.170,0:06:29.770
-Hydrates another one.
-Always
-You know, drink a lot of
0:06:29.770,0:06:30.270
water.
0:06:30.270,0:06:32.030
Water fills you up so that, you know,
0:06:32.030,0:06:34.090
you can't eat quite as much candy, but
0:06:34.090,0:06:35.890
also, you know, I mean, one of the
0:06:35.890,0:06:38.150
fun things was getting back and taking everything
0:06:38.150,0:06:39.550
and pouring out on the floor and then
0:06:39.550,0:06:41.510
sorting everything out and then trading with your
0:06:41.510,0:06:42.970
-buddies.
-Yup. Oh yeah.
-And stuff like that.
0:06:43.370,0:06:44.950
And that's, that's a lot of energy and
0:06:44.950,0:06:45.810
excitement too.
0:06:46.030,0:06:46.390
Yeah.
0:06:46.390,0:06:49.110
So that's not really preparing for bedtime either.
0:06:49.250,0:06:49.650
That's right.
0:06:49.650,0:06:51.850
I remember back when, you know, some of
0:06:51.850,0:06:53.350
the times when you would go out and
0:06:53.350,0:06:55.130
I'd go out and we'd go separate ways.
0:06:55.490,0:06:57.050
And then next thing you know, you'd come
0:06:57.050,0:06:58.250
back and you'd have a bag and I
0:06:58.250,0:07:00.110
have a bag and we'd compare the, the
0:07:00.110,0:07:02.530
amount we got back and stuff like that.
0:07:02.650,0:07:06.550
So, uh, and don't forget to, I love
0:07:06.550,0:07:09.270
chocolate, but chocolate has caffeine in it.
0:07:09.270,0:07:11.630
So that's even a double whammy is the
0:07:11.630,0:07:12.130
chocolate.
0:07:12.370,0:07:13.150
So yeah.
0:07:13.210,0:07:16.870
[Pulls out three cups]
-Three cups of chocolate.
-Oooooo.
-That's three cups of sugar.
0:07:17.030,0:07:18.170
And also guess what?
0:07:18.470,0:07:19.450
-Caffeine.
-Lots of caffeine.
0:07:19.810,0:07:20.310
Exactly.
0:07:20.490,0:07:21.270
You're going to toss and turn.
0:07:21.410,0:07:23.810
Like I said, two to three hours before,
0:07:24.050,0:07:26.090
you know, stop eating candy about two to
0:07:26.090,0:07:28.950
three hours before to give yourself a pretty
0:07:28.950,0:07:31.530
good window of downtime.
0:07:31.930,0:07:33.350
And so we don't, you know, you don't
0:07:33.350,0:07:36.170
want to, you know, kill the environment by
0:07:36.170,0:07:36.550
going
0:07:36.550,0:07:37.790
Oh, well, no, we're going to go to
0:07:37.790,0:07:38.810
bed. We're going to do this.
0:07:38.890,0:07:40.150
We've got to be able to celebrate and
0:07:40.150,0:07:40.650
have fun.
0:07:40.850,0:07:41.570
Right. Exactly.
0:07:41.630,0:07:42.890
You know, you can do that.
0:07:42.970,0:07:45.410
And then you can prepare, you know, prep
0:07:45.410,0:07:48.310
your meals, you know, do those things that
0:07:48.310,0:07:51.090
help out, you know, kind of slow it
0:07:51.090,0:07:52.530
down a little bit, maybe sit back and
0:07:52.530,0:07:53.490
watch the horror movie.
0:07:53.550,0:07:54.050
-Maybe.
-Oooooooo.
0:07:54.910,0:07:56.670
But then, I mean, I don't know that
0:07:56.670,0:07:58.910
we hadn't talked about how those, how that
0:07:58.910,0:08:00.010
impacts our sleep yet.
0:08:00.190,0:08:01.210
It doesn't help mine.
0:08:01.670,0:08:03.230
I can tell you that right now.
0:08:03.230,0:08:04.730
I am not a horror person.
0:08:04.770,0:08:06.410
-I do not like that.
-I've got a thing over here trying to...
0:08:06.550,0:08:07.010
I know.
0:08:07.010,0:08:07.690
I know.
0:08:07.690,0:08:08.690
I looked over here.
0:08:08.870,0:08:09.950
I'm like, good Lord.
0:08:10.170,0:08:11.650
-I mean, somebody...
-I don't know what's going on around here.
0:08:12.110,0:08:14.070
Somebody, I don't know if it was Meredith
0:08:14.070,0:08:18.210
or Ivon, but somebody made our place look
0:08:18.210,0:08:19.530
a little scary.
0:08:20.030,0:08:22.830
Key take away let's, uh, candy curfew.
0:08:23.030,0:08:24.170
I mean, I, you know, we all had
0:08:24.170,0:08:24.990
curfews or whatever.
0:08:25.110,0:08:26.630
I don't know if kids today have curfews,
0:08:26.650,0:08:28.170
but if they don't, they should, they got
0:08:28.170,0:08:28.950
a candy curfew now.
0:08:29.190,0:08:29.990
Candy curfew.
0:08:30.410,0:08:32.270
Got to stop within, if you're going to
0:08:32.270,0:08:33.549
bed at 9 and you need to stop
0:08:33.549,0:08:35.710
eating candy at 6.
0:08:35.970,0:08:36.289
Yep.
0:08:36.289,0:08:37.809
And if you need somebody to tell them,
0:08:37.909,0:08:39.770
Hey, look, show them our podcast.
0:08:40.030,0:08:40.770
Hey, here we are.
0:08:40.809,0:08:42.710
We're trying to help you understand what's going
0:08:42.710,0:08:44.550
on, you know, but still have fun.
0:08:44.630,0:08:45.130
Have fun.
0:08:45.270,0:08:45.770
Absolutely.
0:08:46.110,0:08:46.790
Have fun.
0:08:46.850,0:08:47.850
That's exactly right.
0:08:48.210,0:08:50.330
So, and, uh, so you, uh, let's talk
0:08:50.330,0:08:51.750
a little bit about what happens a couple
0:08:51.750,0:08:52.410
of days later.
0:08:52.750,0:08:54.730
I just got, I just can't really understand
0:08:54.730,0:08:57.550
this. Why are, why do 48 States change their
0:08:57.550,0:08:59.310
time and two don't.
0:08:59.610,0:09:03.050
So Hawaii and Arizona do not change their
0:09:03.050,0:09:03.370
time.
0:09:03.370,0:09:04.890
Are they the only smart States?
0:09:05.710,0:09:07.210
I don't know if it's smart or not.
0:09:07.270,0:09:08.710
It doesn't mess up your sleep routine.
0:09:09.610,0:09:11.610
I've heard all kinds of excuse or not
0:09:11.610,0:09:14.490
excuse, but reasons why, you know, but I
0:09:14.490,0:09:15.330
don't really know.
0:09:15.530,0:09:17.030
I mean, it doesn't make sense to me.
0:09:17.370,0:09:18.690
I'd be fine with it myself.
0:09:18.870,0:09:20.110
I'd be fine with it if it just
0:09:20.110,0:09:21.090
stayed the same.
0:09:21.410,0:09:22.850
And it's hard for me to adjust.
0:09:22.990,0:09:25.150
And, and, you know, uh, there's an article,
0:09:25.410,0:09:29.070
Mass General Brigham, uh, article that explains, you
0:09:29.070,0:09:30.610
know, how it impacts the body.
0:09:30.770,0:09:33.250
And that the, the hour gain is really
0:09:33.250,0:09:36.490
just it shifts your, your sleep habit.
0:09:36.830,0:09:38.670
-Right.
-And so you have, you're for a little
0:09:38.670,0:09:40.850
while, I think we all agree, whether you
0:09:40.850,0:09:42.450
get to sleep in an extra hour or
0:09:42.450,0:09:45.670
-not, you know, it changes you, you know...
-Yeah
0:09:45.730,0:09:46.590
it's not good.
0:09:46.670,0:09:49.250
You're, you're, you're groggy or you're, you know,
0:09:49.250,0:09:52.430
you're slumpy because your sleep habits are kicked
0:09:52.430,0:09:55.370
off because you're, you're, you're clock changes, but
0:09:55.370,0:09:57.970
your body internal clock doesn't change.
0:09:57.970,0:09:58.470
Right.
0:09:58.530,0:09:59.730
You have to adjust that.
0:10:00.010,0:10:01.990
So adjusting that is difficult.
0:10:02.210,0:10:03.210
It doesn't sound like much.
0:10:03.350,0:10:05.290
I mean, one hour doesn't, but I mean,
0:10:05.310,0:10:07.970
you know, um, it definitely affects your circadian
0:10:07.970,0:10:08.990
rhythm in your brain.
0:10:09.130,0:10:11.070
I guess, you know, a lot of people
0:10:11.070,0:10:13.630
say, I love fall because when you fall
0:10:13.630,0:10:16.930
back and it is definitely easier to take
0:10:16.930,0:10:19.410
mentally than spring forward, when you lose an
0:10:19.410,0:10:22.390
hour, um, because I don't want to get
0:10:22.390,0:10:25.890
an extra hour to sleep, party, stay up,
0:10:25.890,0:10:26.370
whatever.
0:10:26.370,0:10:28.090
I mean, we just, you know, if we
0:10:28.090,0:10:29.770
used it in a, in a, in a,
0:10:29.770,0:10:31.970
in a great way that it would probably
0:10:31.970,0:10:33.130
be better for us, but most of us
0:10:33.130,0:10:35.210
are going to use it probably, you know,
0:10:35.350,0:10:36.010
not so good.
0:10:36.210,0:10:38.930
So, so what the experts say is what
0:10:38.930,0:10:41.230
I read and they said, it makes sense
0:10:41.230,0:10:44.570
to be able to just take a 15
0:10:44.570,0:10:46.370
-Right.
-minutes, you know, so if you normally go
0:10:46.370,0:10:47.490
to bed at 10 o'clock at night,
0:10:47.530,0:10:48.810
still go to bed at 10 o'clock
0:10:48.810,0:10:51.050
that night, Saturday night, and then get up
0:10:51.050,0:10:52.630
at five or six or whatever the next
0:10:52.630,0:10:55.130
day or five or six, 15, you know,
0:10:55.170,0:10:57.110
just push it, start, start pushing it back
0:10:57.110,0:10:57.670
a little bit.
0:10:58.050,0:10:59.510
But, um, but in, in, in four or
0:10:59.510,0:11:00.770
-five days, you'll be still fine.
-Right.
0:11:00.930,0:11:03.750
I know, I know Sunday, I'll feel groggy,
0:11:03.750,0:11:05.730
like you said, and then Monday, Monday, I'll
0:11:05.730,0:11:08.350
be even worse, because it, you know, I'm
0:11:08.350,0:11:10.210
-caught back to work and all that.
-Yup.
0:11:10.210,0:11:12.190
Because I mean, it, it causes anxiety in me
0:11:12.190,0:11:13.410
-to a certain degree.
-Yeah.
0:11:13.510,0:11:14.690
I mean, it's just like, no one is
0:11:14.690,0:11:15.110
coming.
0:11:15.110,0:11:17.330
I'm like, I just worked really hard on
0:11:17.330,0:11:18.950
this and I just got my routine down
0:11:18.950,0:11:21.130
and I'm feeling really good about where, where
0:11:21.130,0:11:21.630
I am.
0:11:21.650,0:11:23.850
And now I gotta make this adjustment.
0:11:23.850,0:11:26.970
And you know, I will wake up my
0:11:26.970,0:11:27.770
internal clock.
0:11:27.990,0:11:29.090
-I will wake up according to it.
-Yep. Yep.
0:11:29.690,0:11:31.550
And then I'll look at the physical clock
0:11:31.550,0:11:32.630
and I'll be like, Oh, I got another
0:11:32.630,0:11:33.170
hour of sleep.
0:11:33.650,0:11:34.530
-I really don't know.
-No.
0:11:34.570,0:11:36.290
-My body's already done its sleep.
-Right.
0:11:36.610,0:11:37.390
That's a great point.
0:11:37.490,0:11:37.990
Yeah.
0:11:38.090,0:11:39.430
-Yeah.
-I'm stuck in my head.
0:11:39.510,0:11:41.950
My, my, my brain just locks down on
0:11:41.950,0:11:42.870
it and says, here it comes.
0:11:42.910,0:11:43.410
Let's do it.
0:11:43.530,0:11:45.650
You know, if you've ever traveled, you'll, you
0:11:45.650,0:11:47.690
can relate to the same, you know, the
0:11:47.690,0:11:48.290
same situation.
0:11:48.290,0:11:49.850
You know, when we went, we used to
0:11:49.850,0:11:52.330
go to Vegas a lot for, for work
0:11:52.330,0:11:54.570
and for furniture markets and things.
0:11:55.050,0:11:56.510
We tried to stay, we did our best
0:11:56.510,0:11:59.510
to stay on the East coast time, which
0:11:59.510,0:12:01.170
made us very up early.
0:12:01.270,0:12:02.970
We were always a Starbucks first thing in
0:12:02.970,0:12:03.450
the morning.
0:12:03.450,0:12:05.570
We were the first ones everywhere because we
0:12:05.570,0:12:07.990
were, we were getting up at 4, 3
0:12:07.990,0:12:08.770
or 4 in the morning.
0:12:08.890,0:12:09.350
Right.
0:12:09.350,0:12:10.210
And we stay there.
0:12:10.250,0:12:11.950
But you know, as you, the longer you
0:12:11.950,0:12:13.990
stay in that time zone, harder it is
0:12:13.990,0:12:16.050
to keep staying there and stay in on
0:12:16.050,0:12:17.790
your, you know, on your time.
0:12:17.830,0:12:18.750
Cause we had to go to bed at
0:12:18.750,0:12:20.010
early. Everybody's like, what are you going to bed?
0:12:20.010,0:12:21.010
Before dinner?
0:12:21.130,0:12:21.450
Yeah.
0:12:21.450,0:12:22.310
You're going to bed for dinner.
0:12:22.410,0:12:23.450
Okay. Well we'll go to dinner.
0:12:23.570,0:12:24.570
Yep. I know it affects me.
0:12:24.690,0:12:27.430
-Right.
-I mean, I'm sure it affects everybody in
0:12:27.430,0:12:30.650
different ways, but gradually is always better.
0:12:30.810,0:12:33.110
Like I mentioned before, man, I, I just,
0:12:34.030,0:12:35.390
I love my mattress.
0:12:35.450,0:12:36.770
It just feels so good.
0:12:36.850,0:12:39.110
And I hope everybody listening, you know, loves
0:12:39.110,0:12:41.290
their mattress as much because we should, that
0:12:41.290,0:12:42.750
should be our safe Haven.
0:12:42.790,0:12:44.090
That should be where we want to go,
0:12:44.410,0:12:47.170
where we go rest and we repair ourselves.
0:12:47.250,0:12:48.930
And I just, like I said, I hope
0:12:48.930,0:12:50.830
everybody loves their mattress.
0:12:50.910,0:12:53.070
If you don't, then start looking for one.
0:12:53.430,0:12:53.930
That's right.
0:12:54.190,0:12:54.510

0:12:56.250,0:12:56.670

0:12:57.910,0:12:58.630
Mattressgrove.com.
0:12:58.730,0:12:59.550
Oh, was that an ad?
0:13:00.350,0:13:00.830
Oh God.
0:13:00.830,0:13:01.310
That was an ad.
0:13:01.310,0:13:02.590

0:13:04.290,0:13:04.790
Exactly.
0:13:05.010,0:13:05.910
But that might've been an ad.
0:13:06.350,0:13:07.990
No, but Hey, look, it's just a just
0:13:07.990,0:13:09.590
a place to go look and see what,
0:13:09.730,0:13:10.450
see what's available.

happens, I want to be where I'm comfortable.
0:13:22.470,0:13:24.450
So lay down on my mattress, put my
0:13:24.450,0:13:27.090
-head on my pillow.
-Oooooo.
