When it comes time to change the clocks, many of us ask ourselves an existential question: will I sleep more or less tonight? Or will it be more or less daylight when I wake up?
As every year since 1963, in the fall, we switch to winter time! And this time change can have effects on the body that are difficult to bear. Here are some tips to help you better live this period.
What are the effects of time change on your body?
To better understand the effects of the time change, you should know that our "biological clock", the one that regulates our daily needs, works in 24-hour cycles and is based mainly on sunlight. When we change the time, this rhythm is disrupted, which can lead to difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, irritability, attention deficit and fatigue.
While some people don't feel no particular symptoms , others may see their rhythm of life disrupted for several days or even weeks. The elderly, babies and children are often the most affected by the time change, their schedules being generally more fixed and important for their daily lives.
