How daylight saving impacts your sleep
[Fox 9 News, October 28, 2025]
Daylight saving time ends Sunday, Nov. 2. That means we'll all turn the clocks back an hour and gain a bit more of sleep on Sunday.
“Your body doesn’t switch on a dime, just because your clock does,” said Andrew Stiehm, MD, a pulmonologist and sleep medicine physician with Allina Health.
Dr. Stiehm told the Fox 9 Good Day hosts that the dramatic change in time definitely takes a toll on people mentally and physically. There is typically an increase in strokes, heart attacks and motor vehicle accidents in the week following a time change. Dr. Stiehm also discussed sleep monitors and how screens impact sleep.
