Daylight saving time begins in the U.S. on March 9, prompting a one-hour forward shift in clocks. This seasonal change boosts daylight hours, with sunrise and sunset times shifting in California. Notably, sunrise will be at 7:25 a.m. and sunset at 7:07 p.m. Adjustments to sleep patterns can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to potential public health concerns like accidents linked to sleep deprivation, as noted by experts from SleepFoundation.org and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Changing the time on your clock alters your normal pattern of exposure to daylight, according to SleepFoundation.org. This can throw off your body's circadian rhythm, the internal clock that helps control sleep.
The transition from standard time to daylight saving time can result in significant public health and safety risks, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, including increased accidents due to sleep loss.
