Exhaustion and problems getting enough sleep top the list of concerns that Dr. Michael Dewey<\/a> and other primary care providers hear from their patients.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025, you get to score an extra hour of sleep when Daylight Saving Time officially ends, and we get to set our clocks back at 2 a.m. Of course, there\u2019s no need to interrupt your night’s sleep to change your clocks.<\/p>\n

Instead, use the fall time change and that extra hour of sleep to renew your commitment to getting a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

A Colorado native and family medicine doctor, Dewey cares for patients at the UCHealth Family Medicine Clinic in Westminster<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dewey grew up in Conifer, close to the mountains. He loves cycling, snowboarding and hiking. He and his wife, Jessica, have a young son and daughter.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
Dr. Michael Dewey is a primary care doctor. Many of his patients are dealing with sleep challenges. He advises them to use the extra hour of sleep they’ll get during the fall time change to jumpstart better sleep habits. Photo courtesy of Dr. Michael Dewey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sleep deprivation can be a challenge, and it’s especially common among parents with young children like the Deweys. But all of us can boost our health by getting a better night\u2019s sleep. Lack of sleep has been linked to diverse health problems, from obesity to Alzheimer\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many patients assume medications are the best path to a good night\u2019s sleep. But, Dewey said behavioral changes can have a far greater impact. For about 90% of patients, good sleep hygiene can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all lead very busy lives, and for a lot of people, it\u2019s hard to find time for themselves. We say, \u2018I\u2019ll just stay up an extra hour. I\u2019ll get one more thing done.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

But, says Dewey, \u201cyou have to prioritize yourself and take care of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

A commitment to getting enough sleep is a cornerstone of good health.<\/p>\n

Nine times out of 10, Dewey says tinkering with your diet, exercise regimen, and sleep hygiene can fix sleep problems.<\/p>\n

Even better, good sleep habits can have lasting impacts, while medications only promote short-term fixes. What\u2019s more, researchers are finding that people get deeper, higher-quality sleep when they rest naturally versus relying on sleep medications.<\/p>\n

7 tips for using the fall time change as a springboard for better sleep<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, do yourself a favor and use the fall time change as a springboard for better sleep. Here are Dewey\u2019s top seven tips for getting a better night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n

1. Maintain a regular sleep schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, including on weekends.<\/p>\n

2. Avoid exposure to light-emitting devices<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Avoid<\/a> using or watching laptops, phones, TVs and computers for at least 30 minutes before going to sleep.<\/p>\n

3. Create an atmosphere that promotes sleep in your bedroom<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Keep the temperature cool. Keep your room dark and quiet, and make it a device-free oasis.<\/p>\n

4. Get regular exercise, but not before bed<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Exercise is great<\/a> for you, but it’s best to avoid exercising within 2 hours of bedtime.<\/p>\n

5. Be caffeine aware<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Watch your caffeine intake<\/a> and avoid caffeine after noon.<\/p>\n

6. Try relaxation techniques<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation before bed can be very beneficial. You can find ideas and free guided meditations<\/a> on your UCHealth app.<\/p>\n

7. Discuss your sleep challenges with your health care provider<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If you are having regular difficulty<\/a> getting enough sleep, talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n
