Impact of Daylight Saving Time on Health and Relationships
When clocks fall back one hour for Daylight Saving Time, we gain an extra hour of sleep, but face shorter days and darker evenings, affecting our health and relationships.
According to Harvard Health Publishing, the bi-annual clock change has several health consequences, disrupting our circadian rhythms, which regulate appetite, mood, and sleep.
“That one-hour change may not seem like much, but it can wreak havoc on people’s mental and physical well-being in the short term,”
says Dr. Charles Czeisler, professor of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School’s Division of Sleep Medicine.
