Remember tonight is the end of Daylight Saving Time! Here are two tips to keep you safe on the roads and ease the adjustment on your
#bodyclock. 🚙 ⏰
Did you know the Senate passed legislation to remain permanently on Daylight Saving Time? Sleep and circadian scientists agree we should stop switching our clocks twice a year but we should opt to remain permanently on Standard Time since it aligns better with our bodyclock. If we were permanently on DST:
⏰ you would wake up to darkness
❌☀️ not obtain the morning sunlight necessary to anchor your body clock
🕐 sleep later since you’d get more sun in the evening which would shift your melatonin trigger.
🛏️ Both bedtime and waking would be more challenging and could lead to bodyclock desynchronization and other chronic health conditions.
