Daylight Savings Time ends soon—how could it impact your health?

History: DST began in 1918 to save energy during WWI but may not be effective today.

Health Impact: The switch can disrupt sleep, leading to health risks.

Stroke Risk: Studies show a rise in stroke cases around DST changes.

Mood Effects: DST can worsen Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression.

Car Accidents: Early darkness linked to increased road accidents.

Sleep Patterns: Gaining an hour may still mess with your sleep rhythm.

Preparation Tip: Gradually adjust sleep times before DST ends.

Stay Consistent: Stick to a routine once the time change happens.

Bright Light: Morning sunlight helps reset your internal clock.
