## Resource

Explore the complex intersection of public policy, corporate lobbying, and human biology. This episode examines why the debate over permanent daylight saving time is more than just a matter of convenience. We dive into the historical origins of clock shifting, the influence of retail industry pressure, and the critical role of circadian rhythms in our long-term health. By analyzing scientific research on sleep, cortisol, and metabolic well-being, we compare the potential impacts of permanent daylight saving time versus permanent standard time. Join us as we break down why morning light is essential for our internal clocks and what the latest modeling studies suggest is the healthiest path forward for our society. 📥 Connect with The Well-Built Life If you enjoyed today’s conversation, please take a moment to follow or subscribe to the channel on your favorite platform so you never miss a practical health and wellness tip.
