Show Notes
Daylight saving time begins this Sunday, March 8th, but not everyone participates. Hawaii, most of Arizona, and U.S. territories remain on standard time. The shift disrupts our internal clocks, leading to sleep issues, increased heart attacks, strokes, and car crashes. The extra evening light delays melatonin, affecting heart rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. Those already sleep-deprived are hit the hardest. Health experts suggest adjusting meal and workout times, avoiding afternoon naps and late caffeine. Some advocate for permanent standard time to align with our biology.
