LISTEN | Why does the time change mess with my sleep, and what can I do about it?:Experts warn that the biannual shift between daylight saving time (DST) and standard time disrupts sleep and negatively impacts health by misaligning the body’s internal clock with the external environment. Research indicates that the spring transition to DST is particularly harmful, increasing the risk of health issues such as heart attacks and strokes. Sleep specialists advocate for permanently adopting standard time to better align with natural circadian rhythms. To mitigate sleep disruption, individuals are advised to gradually adjust their schedules and maintain consistent sleep and activity patterns.
