As the clock shifts back for standard time, most Americans will enjoy an extra hour of sleep. However, the downside is the early onset of evening darkness.
Health experts, including the American Medical Association, suggest that the biannual change to daylight savings, which disrupts our biological clocks, should ultimately be eliminated.
Research indicates that the transition back to standard time is generally easier on the body than the spring change, yet still comes with challenges in adjusting sleep patterns.
The health impacts of daylight saving time changes are significant; some studies link the March change with an increase in serious health incidents, highlighting the consequences of disrupted sleep.
