What are the effects of Daylight saving time on our body?
To better understand the effects of time change on our body, we must know that our “biological clock”, which regulates our daily needs, operates in cycles of 24 hours and is based mainly on sunlight. When there’s a time change, our rhythm is disrupted and this can have consequences such as; difficulty sleeping, insomnia, irritability, lack of focus and fatigue.
While some may not experience any particular symptoms, others lifestyle can be disrupted for days or even weeks. Elders, babies and children are often the most affected by time change, their schedules being generally more fixed and important for their daily life.
