Why Daylight Saving Time Is Harder on Your Body Than You Think

In practice, the days that follow often feel subtly off in ways that are difficult to name. Energy dips arrive earlier in the afternoon. Sleep, which was supposed to improve, sometimes becomes less reliable. The light disappears before dinner, and the body seems to register the loss in ways that go beyond the inconvenience of a darker commute.

Understanding what those changes are, and how to support the body through them, is one of the more practical things any of us can do for our long-term health.
