Are you still feeling the impact of the time change? How are you managing the “fall back” clock adjustment? Although it's typically easier to adapt to the fall time change over the one in the spring, it still has an impact on our health.
According to a new analysis by Stanford Medicine scientists, changing clocks twice a year disrupts circadian rhythms, leading to higher rates of stroke and obesity. Researchers compared permanent standard time, permanent daylight saving time and biannual shifting. The team found that, from a circadian perspective, either permanent standard time or permanent daylight saving time would be healthier than our seasonal shifting, with permanent standard time benefitting the most people.
The Chief Medical Officer for our Utah sister facility, Lone Peak Hospital, joined Dan Evans & Kelly Chapman this week on FOX 13 News to talk about the body’s innate clock and how best to handle the time change.
