Daylight Saving Time Health Impacts and Sleep Recommendations

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and other health organizations are advocating for the elimination of seasonal time changes in favor of permanent standard time.

Recommendations for managing the transition include maintaining a seven-hour sleep schedule and seeking immediate morning sunlight.
