Daylight Saving Time (DST) has returned, and with it comes the familiar mix of anticipation and apprehension. Many of us are left pondering the impact of this seasonal shift on our daily routines and well-being. Originally introduced to conserve energy, the biannual clock change can significantly affect sleep patterns, mood, and overall health.
Challenges for Families
As we adjust to the time change, it’s important to recognize the potential challenges it presents, particularly for families. Children, in particular, may struggle with the altered schedule, resulting in crankiness and disrupted sleep. To ease this transition, consider gradually adjusting bedtimes in the days leading up to the change. This approach can help children adapt more smoothly to the new time.
