Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.

I found a note to myself in my Tickler file on March 1 — all about taking care of myself in the week before and the week after the Spring Forward time change. Some years, I find that more difficult than it seems like it should be. So, here’s what I’m doing for the next couple of weeks:

• exercising an hour a day (mostly cardio and stretching because that’s what impacts my sleep)
• using my Neti pot twice a day (instead of the usual once a day — breathing helps me sleep)
• getting to bed early (at least, in theory — I’ll work harder to make that in practice now that I’ve publicly declared it)
• eating clean
• reading fun books (this is not the time for difficult tomes)

Does the Spring Forward time change impact your life? Do you have other good ideas for coping?
