Wait, we’re not ready yet — this weekend marks the end of Daylight Saving Time, which means setting all the clocks back an hour starting at 2 a.m. Sunday. (Yes, we still have to do that despite national lawmakers leaning toward ending the practice altogether by next March.)
Rather than raging against the dying of the light, we have ways to illuminate your fall and winter.
Get a glow up
TUO: The Circadian Smart Bulb | UW authored a 2020 study that found specific light colors are just as important as brightness in impacting circadian rhythms. It licensed the tech to a startup which now makes a bulb that aims to reset your body clock.
Mosaic Lamp from Harold’s Lighting | Another bright idea — get a beautiful, handcrafted piece from a third generation-owned local biz and complement it with some houseplants.
Sweat it out
Seattle Bouldering Project | Fight seasonal affective disorder with exercise at this Beacon Hill rock climbing gym. There are uplifting options for every skill level.
Flow in the Dark | This periodic Yerbana yoga class at Flow Fitness studio in Fremont features glow-in-the-dark body paint and glow sticks. Check the page periodically for an updated schedule each week.
Just treat yo’self
Goodies from Temple Pastries | $3-45
Croissants here are as light as can be, but don’t sleep on all the Central District bakery’s fluffy Kouign-amann or delectable apple hazelnut tart.
Sweaters from Pipe & Row | $75+
Nothing can sass old man winter like fine knitwear — this Fremont boutique has stylish options for all kinds of bright personalities.
