And so that's one way we might look at how daylight saving time could be affecting us overall. So again, we need light in the morning. We need darkness at night. And the popularity of daylight saving time is making it difficult to kind of

To get that message out, the scientists are really pushing policy towards considering permanent standard time, which, again, will keep us more in alignment with the sun. But most people, and I'm guilty of this too, have equated daylight saving time with those long days of summer. But there's really no way we can affect how many hours of daylight we have, right, whether that's summer or winter.

So it's just that allocation of the hour that we're really talking about.

As I've mentioned, we all tick a little differently. Those inner clocks in our bodies that tick at around 24 hours, for some of us, that means that they tick a little longer than 24 hours. And for some, they're faster, and it's a little under 24 hours to do its full circuit, so to speak. So because of that, there's times a day that we have a greater predilection for certain things.

And if we think about sleep-wake, that's where I think most of us experience these differences. So there's some of us that if we have a shorter circadian rhythm, we might more likely be early birds. It's easier for us to go to sleep early at night, and we might wake early.

And on the other end of the spectrum, there's the extreme night owls, where they may be at their peak late and be awake and alert into the night and then wanting to sleep in late in the morning. So it's both the speed at which our clocks tick as well as this alignment with light. So scientists are trying to understand that more now.

But how our body responds to light is also affecting how these clocks align with a 24-hour day. But there's not just early birds and night owls. There's a full spectrum that goes to pretty great extremes. Different genetics can predispose some people to truly function better overnight than during the day.
