How does end of Daylight Saving Time affect sleep patterns?
The end of daylight saving time can lead to an extra hour of sleep, but it may also cause some people to struggle with adjusting to the new wake-up time, potentially disrupting their sleep patterns for several days. This transition can affect circadian rhythms, making it harder to fall asleep and wake up at the desired times.
