    Coping with Daylight Savings Time Change

    In this episode, Paul Muchowski, PhD, is joined by Dr. Thuan Dang. Dr. Dang is a pediatric neurologist who specializes in sleep medicine at the Shriners’ Children’s Hospital in Chicago. She is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) and Sleep Medicine. Most coverage of DST focuses on the obvious: you lose an hour of sleep, you're dragging on Monday, but you eventually adjust. That framing dramatically undersells what's happening. Dr. Dang and Dr. Muchowski speak about how much Daylight Savings actually does to your mind and body, disrupting your sleep cycles and circadian rhythms. But luckily, Dr. Dang reminds us that there are actions you can take to help your body adjust to the change.
