Before you drift off to sleep Saturday night, you might be moving your clock ahead to account for Daylight Saving Time. Some of us are better than others at dealing with changing clocks, but scientists agree it takes a toll on our well-being.
Dr. Nate Watson, a neurologist and director of the University of Washington’s Sleep Center, said our bodies are not meant to deal with Daylight Saving Time.
“It’s just a matter of that alignment between our internal Circadian rhythm and where the sun is,” Watson said. “We are designed to sleep when it’s dark out and be awake during the day.”
