Daylight Saving Time & Your Body Clock

Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle called the circadian rhythm, which helps regulate sleep, energy, digestion, and alertness. This internal clock responds to cues from our environment—especially natural light—that signal when it’s time to wake, eat, and rest.

Support a healthy circadian rhythm by:

• Managing stress

• Getting natural sunlight

• Following a consistent sleep routine

• Exercising regularly

• Eating meals at consistent times
