The Time Change Could be Dangerous for Your Health

(Undated) – If you are still feeling the effects 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.” The Sunshine Protection Act,” which would switch the U.S. to permanent Daylight Saving time, was passed by the Senate in 2022, but the bill stalled in the House.
