Unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii, you may be wondering, **“how does daylight savings time affect sleep patterns?”** This question is especially relevant when we spring forward and lose an hour of sleep! It doesn’t sound like much, but there’s more to the story. This annual clock change **disrupts our natural body clock** and can leave us feeling tired and unrefreshed, and that’s not all. Medical research shows these shifts have real health impacts, including surprising statistics from peer-reviewed studies.
