Time Change Could Be Disrupting Your Health

(Undated) – If you are still feeling the affects of the time change, you are not alone. According to Health Experts, clock changes disrupt our sleep, metabolism, and stress levels. Changes in sleep can also make us feel tired or irritable, and even increase our appetite. Disrupting our natural sleep cycle can also affect our movement and reaction times, raising the risk of injury. Kids and early risers suffer most from clock changes. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says the switch to permanent standard time would “more closely align with the body’s internal clock.” According to a recent poll, only 12% of adults in the U.S. are in favor of the current daylight saving time system, while 47% oppose it. According to the poll, 56% of adults said they prefer permanent daylight saving time with less light in the morning and more light in the evening. Forty-two percent said they prefer permanent standard time, with more light in the morning and less light in the evening.
