  • A recent study found women are nearly twice as likely as men to say they rarely or never wake up feeling well rested. Dr. Carol Ash, a board-certified sleep specialist at R.W.J. Barnabas Health, joins TODAY with insight into why women may need more sleep than men and shares tips for everyone to get better shut eye.

The article from MSN discusses the potential health and well-being impacts of Daylight Saving Time (DST). It highlights that the transition to DST, which involves setting clocks forward by one hour, can disrupt our circadian rhythms, leading to sleep loss and a range of health issues. These include increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, and mood disturbances like depression due to the sudden change in light exposure. The article also mentions that while the extra evening light might boost mood and activity levels, the initial adjustment period can lead to fatigue, reduced productivity, and even a temporary increase in traffic accidents. Furthermore, it touches on the debate over whether DST should be abolished, with some experts arguing that the health detriments might outweigh the benefits, suggesting a need for a reevaluation of this practice.
