Why the Fall time change is good for You.
No, it’s not just about an extra hour of sleep, and yes, you can offset the downside of darker evenings.
An earlier sunrise and sunset aligns more closely with your body’s natural circadian rhythm, the internal 24-hour clock that follows light and dark.
A well-aligned circadian rhythm supports sleep quality, hormone regulation, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
It even helps your cells repair and restore more effectively.
But earlier sunsets can affect mood and motivation.
Combat this with light timing: morning sunlight (within 30 minutes of sunrise) resets your circadian rhythm and balances serotonin and melatonin.
And low amber or red light in the evening supports melatonin release for deep, restorative sleep.
