Ah, Daylight Savings. It’s that semi-annual clock change that feels like a mini-jet lag, even if you’ve only traveled to…well, the next hour. For many of us, the sudden shift can throw our sleep schedules completely off, leaving us foggy and exhausted. If this sounds familiar, I’ve got a simple, natural trick to help ease the transition: biomagnetism.
Biomagnetism might sound a bit “out there,” but it’s a natural, non-invasive way to help bring your body back into balance. It involves using pairs of magnets on specific points on your body to support natural processes, like adjusting your internal clock. For Daylight Savings, the goal is to use biomagnetism to help your brain catch up with the new sleep-wake rhythm. Here's how!
The Best Biomagnetic Pair for Daylight Savings
The best biomagnetic pair for resetting your sleep cycle after Daylight Savings is, pineal - pineal, vertical. The pineal gland is a tiny, powerful part of the brain responsible for melatonin production, the “sleep hormone” that signals when it’s time to wind down. By placing magnets around this area, you can give your body a gentle nudge to get back on track with the new time.
Grab two small magnets (trust me, small ones are perfect, they’re what you need without any bulk). Place them one in front of the other on the crown (the very top) of your head, with the black magnet towards your forehead and the red towards the back. Use a metal hair clip to attach the magnets and leave them there for 20 minutes. I'll use this magnet pair on Saturday evening before the time change and on Sunday and Monday evenings to smooth the transition.
3 Bonus Tips for Navigating Daylight Savings Like a Pro
Beyond biomagnetism, here are a few more tried-and-true strategies to help you smoothly sail through Daylight Savings.
Set Your Clocks Before Bed Technically, the time doesn’t switch until 2 a.m., but who wants to get up just to adjust the clocks? Set them to the new time before you hit the sheets. This way, you wake up in sync, avoiding that Sunday morning scramble to figure out why the coffee shop is still closed.
Soak Up That Daylight Light is the ultimate wake-up call for your brain. Spending time outside, especially in the morning, signals your internal clock to adjust to the new schedule. It’s the best natural way to get back in sync, and even a cloudy day provides way more beneficial light than being indoors.
If it’s too chilly or snowy to head outside, try opening your curtains and cracking the window to let in natural light; it doesn’t take much. Even just 2–3 minutes of natural light is enough to send the right signal to your brain! While light through a window is helpful, direct exposure works best. So, feel free to cozy up under the blankets, open the window slightly, and enjoy a few moments of daylight before starting your day.

Stick to Your Sleep Routine Consistency is king in sleep, especially during time changes. Aim to get at least seven hours of shut-eye, and resist the temptation to change your bedtime. The closer you stick to your usual sleep-wake times, the easier the adjustment. If you’re a planner, consider easing into Daylight Savings by shifting your bedtime 15-20 minutes earlier each night in the days leading up.
Daylight Savings doesn’t have to throw off your whole week. With a little help from biomagnetism, you can make the shift easier on your body. Give the pineal - pineal pair a try to gently reset your internal clock and start feeling like yourself again.
