The biennial time change may seem a little antiquated these days, but if you live in a place where we switch from standard time to daylight saving time, you know it can be a bit of a struggle. Luckily, there are a few ways a smart home assistant like Amazon’s Alexa can help make the transition a little smoother.

Most smart home assistants have a feature that lets you control a group of smart home devices with a simple command. The time change is a good time to adjust your routine to reflect the change. You can set up routines for both morning and evening, and customize them to make falling asleep and waking up a little easier, even if you lose an hour of sleep.
Smart speakers, smart home assistants, and even your smartphone have reminder features, and they can be super helpful when the time changes. Set reminders before it happens for maintenance you’ve tied to the time change, or reminders for new bedtimes, schedules, or anything else that might get in your way when the time changes.
When the time changes, your sleep schedule can get completely out of whack. One way to combat this is to turn off all of your devices, or at the very least put them on Do Not Disturb (DND). The DND feature prevents notifications from coming in (unless you specifically allow them, like calls from your kids), which can help you sleep better even when your body is out of sync with the time.
