Daylight Saving Time Ends: Clocks Set to Fall Back
The annual shift to standard time raises health concerns and affects both humans and pets.
- Daylight saving time in the U.S. ends on November 3, 2024, when clocks will be set back one hour.
- Changing the clocks can disrupt circadian rhythms, potentially impacting physical and mental health.
- Research links time changes to increased risks of heart attacks and car accidents due to disrupted sleep patterns.
- Pet owners are advised to gradually adjust their animals' routines to minimize anxiety and digestive issues.
- Efforts to make daylight saving time permanent have stalled in Congress, leaving the twice-yearly clock changes in place.
