Most of the United States will revert to standard time on Sunday as daylight saving time ends, allowing for an extra hour of sleep. A new study from Stanford University suggests that switching between daylight saving and standard time is the worst option for health, with permanent standard time being slightly better. Health organizations, including the American Medical Association, have long urged the adoption of standard time year-round/ The twice-yearly time change can disrupt the body's internal clock, potentially leading to health issues such as increased car crashes and heart attacks, particularly after the spring switch. While a bill to make daylight saving time permanent has stalled in Congress, experts advise getting morning sunlight to help reset the body's circadian rhythm during the transition.
