VERIFYING the health impacts of Daylight Saving Time

VERIFYING the health impacts of Daylight Saving Time

CNN's Kaitlan Collins caught up with DJ Daniel, the 13-year-old cancer survivor honored by President Donald Trump during his address to Congress. As clocks move forward, people feel groggy and irritated. Is the time change damaging to your body?

The piece also touches on research suggesting that permanent standard time could be healthier, aligning better with our natural sleep cycles.
