Nakasuway na ba ka kanang wide awake ka sa 3 a.m. pero wala gyud kay energy inig buntag? Many students know this feeling all too well. Staying up late for studies or social media, plus the stress of college life, can lead to a disrupted body clock. When our sleep is out of sync, it affects not just our mood but also our energy, focus, and even our overall health. So, let’s break down why this happens ug unsaon pagbalik sa healthy, consistent nga sleep schedule.


Ngano Ma-Out of Sync ang Body Clock? What is the cause of disrupted body clock?

Our body clock, or circadian rhythm, tells us when it’s time to sleep and when to wake up. Ideally, mo-align ni siya sa natural daylight ug darkness cycles, but late-night habits, screen time, ug caffeine can throw it out of sync. Mao ni ang rason nganong maglisod ta og tulog inig gabii or nganong duka kaayo inig buntag.

Practical Steps para Makatabang Mag-Balik sa Imong Body Clock

1. Set a Regular Bedtime and Wake-Up Time

Kung gusto nimo mag-reset, consistency is key! Choose a time nga dili lisod para sa imong lifestyle, and stick with it—even on weekends. Hinay-hinay ra, pero after a few days, your body will start to recognize the pattern. Lisod siya at first, pero after a while, mu-improve na gyud imong sleep.


2. Make Bedtime a Relaxing Ritual

Kung maglisod ka ug relax before bed, try creating a calming routine. Likayi ang screens 30 minutes before sleeping kay ang blue light makapabright sa imong mind as if it’s still daytime. Instead, listen to calming music, read a book, or do light stretching. This routine helps signal to your brain nga time na to unwind.


3. Limit Caffeine in the Afternoon

Kapoy gyud ang afternoon sometimes, but be mindful of coffee or energy drinks after lunchtime. Bisag duka pa ka sa gabii, makalater gyud og effect ang caffeine, so it’s better to stick to water or tea in the evening. That way, your body can relax pagpadulong na sa bedtime.


4. Try to Get Sunlight in the Morning

Ang sunlight maoy key signal para sa imong body clock. Try to go outside sa buntag for 10–15 minutes to get that natural morning light. It will reinforce imong wake-up time and help reset your body clock, making it easier to fall asleep at night.


5. Be Active During the Day

Physical activity helps make your body feel ready for rest by nighttime. If kaya nimo, exercise during the day or in the early evening. Avoid lang mga intense workouts pagpadulong sa bedtime, kay it can keep you awake.

If makafeel ka og duka sa afternoon, okay ra mag-nap, pero keep it short (20–30 minutes max) and take it earlier. Kung late ang nap, it can affect your nighttime sleep and make it harder to sleep at your regular time.
