## Resource

Forget the hassle of clock changes—daylight saving time might be here to stay, and science is backing the switch. Sean Davis calls morning light “stupid,” arguing we need more daylight when we’re actually awake, while comedian Joe Machi highlights safety for kids getting picked up after school. New research from the University of Manchester tracked nearly 90 adults over 500 days and found that more daytime light—especially in the morning—helps people fall asleep earlier, wake up earlier, and get deeper sleep. Morning light signals your brain it’s daytime, syncing your sleep cycle. Experts also advise dimming screens before bed. Caveat: it’s an association, not causation, and other factors like exercise may play a role. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
