What has been one of the best things that’s happened to you this past week? While I try not to over post or bore you all, I feel small wins go a long way when it comes to our mindset and bodily approach! Clearly from the photo we know what my win was!

Most Americans will set their clocks back on Nov. 2 — but a new study led by Jamie Zeitzer, co-director of the Stanford Center for Sleep and Circadian Sciences, says those twice-a-year clock changes may be quietly damaging your health. Your body runs on an internal 24-hour rhythm called your circadian clock. It controls sleep, hormones, metabolism, mood, and cellular repair. And here’s the kicker:It does not adapt well to artificial time changes. Even a one-hour shift can throw off: - Sleep timing - Hormone release - Appetite and metabolism - Cognitive performance - Stress levels and inflammation Spring Forward Is the Most Dangerous Research shows losing an hour in March leads to: - More heart attacks - More car crashes - Higher hospitalization rates - Increased insomnia and mood issues It’s basically jet lag — without the vacation. But “Fall Back” Isn’t Safe Either Gaining an hour still disrupts your biology. Studies show the fall shift can cause: - Fragmented sleep for up to a week - Early-morning wakeups - Irritability and fatigue - Disrupted hunger hormones - Circadian misalignment, especially in adults over 35 Your brain loves stability. Clock changes don’t give it that… SO my questions to you are: Why does this matter? And should the clock changes end??

Most people treat sleep like a luxury—something you earn once everything else is done. But biologically, sleep is the foundation that determines how well everything else works. When sleep is off, the body pays immediately: - Stress tolerance drops - Hunger and cravings increase - Mood becomes more reactive - Recovery slows - Focus and motivation fade What’s tricky is that poor sleep doesn’t always feel dramatic. Sometimes it shows up as being “tired but wired,” needing more caffeine, feeling flat during workouts, or having less patience than usual. We often blame discipline, age, or motivation—when the real issue is a nervous system that hasn’t fully powered down in a while. Sleep disruption is rarely about one bad night. It’s usually about timing, stress, light exposure, and mental load stacking up quietly. The body adapts… until it can’t. The goal isn’t perfect sleep.The goal is protecting enough quality sleep that your system can regulate, recover, and respond instead of constantly react. Awareness is the first step—but consistency is what changes the trajectory. What affects your sleep the most right now? Vote and feel free to share more in the comments :)
