In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of time changes and their effects on our daily lives. We’re joined by Dr. karin Johnson to explore the immediate aftermath of clock changes, discussing the short-term disruptions to sleep patterns, mood, and productivity that accompany the abrupt shift. Then, we get into the long-term consequences of living under different time systems: permanent daylight saving time versus standard time. We examine the impacts on health, safety, and energy consumption, considering both the physiological and societal implications.
