Summary
Daylight saving time isn’t just about losing an hour of sleep—it’s a hidden health crisis. New research reveals this annual clock switch acts as a major stressor on our circadian rhythms, with serious consequences for mental and physical well-being. Studies show it disproportionately impacts those with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions, worsening symptoms in the weeks after the time change. Experts now call it a “population-wide circadian stressor,” warning that these tiny adjustments ripple through our bodies and minds, especially for the most vulnerable.
