(Undated) — On Sunday we’ll fall back in time with the end of Daylight-Saving Time. While doctors tend to agree we have the most difficulty springing forward, our bodies don’t really like to fall back either even if we do get an extra hour of sleep. It’s stressful to not have the outside world fit our internal clock or circadian rhythm. The biggest concern is depression.
Dr. Don Bucklin a preventative medicine doctor says, falling or springing, any clock changes can disrupt our sleep, metabolism, and stress levels. He says now more than ever it’s important to exercise. It tells your body when to be active and you’ll adapt much faster to the change. He adds that kids struggle the most with clock changes as well as people on short sleep cycles like four and five hours and early risers.
