Don’t forget to spring forward for Daylight Saving Time.

While the one-hour time change may seem minor, it can affect the body’s internal clock, especially for individuals living with neurological conditions. Disruptions in sleep patterns may trigger migraines, seizures, fatigue, mood changes, or difficulty concentrating. Patients with conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia may also notice temporary changes in symptoms when their routine is disrupted.

To help your body adjust, try going to bed a little earlier, keep a consistent sleep schedule, get morning sunlight, and avoid caffeine late in the day.

At First Choice Neurology, our neurologists understand the important connection between sleep and brain health and work with patients to manage neurological conditions and maintain overall well-being.

A long-running study from the University of Helsinki found that women who regularly engage in traditional “grandma hobbies” such as knitting, sewing, crocheting, and gardening tend to live up to eight years longer on average.
These activities help calm the nervous system by lowering stress and promoting a meditative, focused state through repetitive movement.
They also build confidence by creating a sense of purpose, routine, and visible accomplishment.
Mentally, such hobbies keep the brain active, supporting memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility as women age.
Together, these effects show that simple, creative pastimes can be deeply therapeutic, emotionally grounding, and beneficial for long-term health.
