Today we are talking about something a bit controversial - Daylight Savings Time
Enjoy!
The biannual ritual of changing our clocks has far more significant health implications than most people realize. While that extra hour of sleep in autumn might seem like a welcome gift, research reveals a complex web of health effects tied to these time shifts, from increased heart attacks to higher rates of depression and traffic accidents.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) was first implemented in the UK during World War One in 1916, primarily to conserve energy and maximize daylight during working hours. Today, this practice affects roughly 70 countries and more than a quarter of the global population. In the United States, which formally adopted DST in 1966, clocks change on the second Sunday in March and first Sunday in November, while in the UK, the changes occur on the last Sunday in March and October.
The most concerning health impacts occur during the spring transition when clocks move forward. A 2014 U.S. study found a startling 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring time change. This finding isn’t isolated – similar patterns have emerged in studies across Sweden, Croatia, Germany, Brazil, Finland, and Mexico. A comprehensive meta-analysis showed an average 4% increase in heart attacks following the spring transition, highlighting the widespread nature of this health risk.
The negative effects don’t stop there. Research has documented increased stroke rates in the weeks following the spring change. Mental health is also affected, with a 2020 study showing exacerbation of mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Road safety becomes a serious concern too, with U.S. studies showing a 6% increase in fatal traffic accidents in the weeks after springing forward, attributed to the nation struggling with the loss of one hour of sleep.
The underlying mechanism for these health impacts relates to our circadian rhythms – our body’s internal 24-hour clock. Professor David Ray from the University of Oxford explains that sunlight is the primary signal our brain uses to synchronize this internal clock. The pineal gland produces melatonin at night when light levels fall, making us sleepy, while morning light triggers cortisol release for wakefulness. This delicate balance is disrupted when we artificially shift our schedules.
Spring’s clock change disrupts this system in multiple ways. Evening light interferes with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep, while darker mornings mean people wake up before their bodies are naturally ready. A 2024 study of over 11,000 UK residents found that while people lost about 65 minutes of sleep on the spring transition Sunday, there was evidence of catch-up sleep in subsequent days, suggesting some ability to adapt to the change.
The impact of disrupted circadian rhythms isn’t limited to clock changes. Shift workers provide a stark example of the long-term effects of living against our natural rhythms. Research shows they experience higher rates of mental and physical illness, including increased rates of diabetes, obesity, coronary heart disease, and cancer. They also have shorter life expectancies on average. Even people living on the western edge of time zones show similar health risks due to the constant slight misalignment with natural light cycles.
The autumn transition, while generally considered less problematic, isn’t without its effects. People typically only gain about 33 minutes of extra sleep, not the full hour, and continue to lose sleep throughout the following week. Danish research spanning 1995 to 2012 found an 11% increase in major depressive episodes in the 10 weeks following the fall time change, suggesting seasonal mood impacts.
However, there are some positive aspects to the autumn transition. Professor Joan Costa-i-Font from the London School of Economics tracked 30,000 individuals over 30 years and found some health benefits associated with the fall change, including increased energy levels and improved mood. People reported feeling better and happier with the additional sleep opportunity. Nevertheless, these benefits weren’t sufficient to offset the negative impacts of the spring transition.
The economic impact is substantial – Costa-i-Font’s research suggests that changing clocks twice yearly costs economies over €750 per capita annually. The disruption goes beyond immediate health effects, as the professor notes that while an hour might seem insignificant, the synchronized shift of entire populations creates widespread disruption to daily routines and biological rhythms.
The European Parliament voted to abolish DST in 2019, though implementation remains pending. The challenge lies in agreeing on which time to maintain – while most countries prefer summer time, circadian biologists generally recommend winter time as better aligned with our natural rhythms. This scientific perspective suggests that maintaining standard time would better support public health and natural sleep-wake cycles.
These findings raise important questions about the continued practice of DST, especially given the documented health risks. As Professor Ray emphasizes, even small misalignments can have significant impacts when applied across entire populations: “With a small risk applied to 60 million people, you’ll be dialing up quite a lot of disease that is completely avoidable.” The evidence suggests that while we might enjoy extra evening light during DST, the biological costs of these clock changes may outweigh their perceived benefits.
In the immediate term, as we face the autumn time change, we can at least take comfort in knowing that darker evenings naturally support better sleep patterns. However, the broader discussion about permanently ending biannual clock changes continues, driven by mounting evidence of their adverse effects on public health and wellbeing.

Hello and Welcome to News From The Future, spoken by the eleven labs audio clone of Dr Catherine Ball.
In this new short series we will be focussing on Sleep. We all do it, and we all recognise when we have not had enough of it.

Today we are talking about the power of mindset over sleep and rest.. and feeling rested
Enjoy!
The complex relationship between sleep quality and mindset reveals that feeling refreshed isn’t just about logging specific hours in bed. Research increasingly demonstrates that our perception and beliefs about sleep might be equally important as the actual time spent sleeping, challenging traditional assumptions about what constitutes a “good night’s rest.”
Nicole Tang, director of the Warwick Sleep and Pain Lab, emphasizes that sleep quality extends beyond nighttime hours. The events before and after sleep, combined with how we interpret our sleep experience, significantly impact our feeling of restfulness. This understanding builds on decades of research showing that psychological processes are primary drivers of insomnia, with disrupted sleep often stemming from elevated psychological arousal.
A particularly intriguing phenomenon called “paradoxical insomnia” demonstrates this mind-body connection. Studies reveal that between 8% and 66% of insomnia patients report poor sleep despite objective measurements showing normal sleep patterns. While insomnia’s risks are very real, this disconnect between perceived and actual sleep quality suggests that our mindset about sleep significantly influences how tired we feel.
The modern sleep industry, valued at $78 billion and growing, often promotes rigid rules about sleep duration as crucial for well-being. However, the exact relationship between sleep duration and long-term health remains unclear. Research typically shows associations rather than direct causations, and many studies produce mixed results. For instance, respiratory problems might cause both poor sleep and health issues, making it difficult to determine which factor drives the other.
David Samson, an evolutionary anthropologist, challenges contemporary sleep assumptions through his research on hunter-gatherer societies. These communities typically get between 5.7 and 7.1 hours of sleep per night – less than industrial societies – and experience more fragmented sleep patterns. Yet remarkably, less than 3% report trouble falling or staying asleep, compared to up to 30% in industrial societies. Most notably, these societies lack even a word for “insomnia” in their languages.
Researchers at the University of Oslo further question the notion of a “sleeplessness epidemic,” arguing that sleep needs are dynamic and adaptable. They emphasize that there isn’t a universal optimal amount of sleep that applies across all situations and times. Instead, sleep requirements vary based on environmental, cultural, psychological, and physiological factors.
Rigid beliefs about sleep can create destructive patterns. People with insomnia often hold inflexible views about sleep requirements, such as believing they must get seven hours to function. These beliefs increase anxiety about sleep, making it harder to achieve restful slumber and potentially amplifying fatigue the next day. Many overestimate both their sleep needs and the impact of poor sleep on their functioning.
The proliferation of sleep tracking devices might inadvertently worsen sleep anxiety. Research demonstrates this through a revealing study where insomnia patients received fake sleep feedback supposedly from smartwatches. Those told they slept poorly reported more fatigue, decreased alertness, and worse mood compared to those told they slept well – regardless of their actual sleep quality.
Performance can also be influenced by sleep perception. In one laboratory study, participants who slept five hours but thought they slept eight showed faster reaction times than those who knew they’d slept five hours. Conversely, those who slept eight hours but thought they’d slept five demonstrated slower reaction times than those aware of their eight-hour sleep.
Tang’s research reveals that our evaluation of sleep quality fluctuates throughout the day. When people engage in enjoyable activities or physical exercise, their perception of the previous night’s sleep often improves, despite the actual sleep period remaining unchanged. This suggests that current activities and mood significantly influence how we view our past sleep quality.
To improve sleep experience, experts recommend several evidence-based strategies: practicing standard sleep hygiene (avoiding alcohol and caffeine, maintaining regular bedtime), adopting a less rigid approach to sleep expectations, and maintaining regular activities despite sleep quality. Understanding that multiple night wakings are natural and focusing on mood-boosting morning activities can also help reshape sleep perception.
Traditional treatments for insomnia often focus on cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift thoughts and decrease arousal, such as muscle relaxation. Jason Ong, a sleep researcher at Northwestern University, emphasizes the importance of detaching from rigid sleep beliefs rather than just changing them. This mindfulness-based approach helps reduce the impact of sleep-related anxiety.
The research emphasizes that while sleep remains important for health, individual differences and circumstances play crucial roles. The current cultural fixation on perfect sleep duration may create unrealistic expectations and unnecessary anxiety, potentially making people feel more tired than necessary. This understanding offers a more nuanced and potentially liberating approach to sleep, suggesting that focusing on mindset and maintaining a flexible attitude toward sleep quality might be more beneficial for overall well-being and daily functioning.

Today we are talking about jet lag, sleep, and the Australian Open Tennis.
Enjoy!
The demanding world of professional tennis presents unique challenges when it comes to managing jetlag, with players constantly crossing multiple time zones throughout the season. The international tennis calendar spans an impressive 29 countries across five continents, leading male players to accumulate a combined 2.3 million kilometers of travel in the 2024 season alone, according to ATP data. This makes tennis players among the most frequently traveling athletes in professional sports.
The physical and mental toll of crossing time zones affects even the most elite players, who often must compete shortly after landing, regardless of their sleep status. As Filipino player Alexandra Eala candidly explains, “If you’re running on three or four hours of sleep, you are going to play. You have to adjust.” This reality is particularly challenging for players from geographically isolated regions, like Australian Tristan Schoolkate, who grew up in Perth, considered the world’s most isolated major city.
The effects of jetlag are particularly pronounced at major tournaments like the Australian Open, where players arrive from various time zones and must quickly adapt to perform at their peak. The challenges include disrupted sleep patterns, physical fatigue, and the need for rapid acclimatization to new conditions. These factors become even more critical in tennis, one of the most physically demanding individual sports.
Players have developed sophisticated strategies to combat jetlag’s effects. Twenty-four-time major champion Novak Djokovic follows a meticulous routine that includes “over-hydrating” during flights with a special mixture of water, lemon, mint, and salt. Upon arrival, he implements a three-step process: walking barefoot on natural ground for grounding, taking an Epsom salt bath, and watching the sunrise the next morning to reset his circadian rhythm.
The use of supplements to manage sleep patterns has become common among players, though this approach carries significant risks. Natural herbal tablets containing ingredients like valerian, hops, chamomile, and passionflower are popular choices. However, the use of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, has led to serious consequences for some players. Six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek received a one-month ban in 2024 after a contaminated melatonin supplement resulted in a failed doping test. Similarly, Stefanos Tsitsipas attributed his poor performance in the 2023 French Open quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz to the effects of melatonin.
Following her experience with supplement-related issues, Swiatek now advocates for a more natural approach to managing jetlag. She finds that transitioning from Europe’s winter darkness to Australia’s abundant sunshine provides a natural reset for her body clock. However, the early morning wake-ups can still pose challenges, as British player Cameron Norrie discovered when he found himself wide awake at 3 AM in Brisbane, distracted by Premier League matches and his fantasy football team’s performance.
Players have developed various personal coping mechanisms. British player Francesca Jones deliberately stays awake during her entire 24-hour journey to Australia, using strategic sleep deprivation to reset her body clock. Spain’s Paula Badosa relies on ice-cold water in the morning to jumpstart her system, while many players, including Schoolkate, depend heavily on Melbourne’s renowned coffee culture for their caffeine boost.
The medical implications of frequent long-distance travel extend beyond mere fatigue. According to NHS guidance, jetlag can trigger a range of symptoms including sickness, indigestion, mild anxiety, and concentration problems. Sports scientist Stephen Smith of Kitman Labs emphasizes that the combination of dehydration, inflammation, and fatigue from air travel significantly increases injury risk, particularly affecting players’ range of movement and mobility.
Travel conditions play a crucial role in recovery. First-class passengers who can lie flat during flights have a distinct advantage over those in economy seating, where restricted space can impede physical recovery. This disparity particularly affects lower-ranked players like Schoolkate, who continues to travel economy due to financial constraints. He recounts playing at Indian Wells after arriving from India just 36 hours before his match, experiencing severe fatigue and coordination difficulties.
The physical demands of tennis make the impact of jetlag particularly challenging. Players must maintain precise hand-eye coordination, explosive movement patterns, and tactical awareness despite their bodies operating on different time zones. As Schoolkate notes, “We’re affected physically and mentally by jetlag. We’re trying to perform a tricky task, playing at the top level and hitting the ball in a certain spot.”
The reality of international tennis requires players to constantly adapt to new time zones while maintaining peak physical condition. This challenge has become an integral part of the modern game, requiring players to develop personalized strategies for managing their bodies across different time zones. While long flights and time differences remain a fundamental aspect of professional tennis, the players’ ability to cope with these challenges often becomes a crucial factor in their competitive success.

Today we are talking about a recent and pioneering sleep improvement trial in the UK
Enjoy!
The South Yorkshire NHS has launched a pioneering sleep improvement trial that’s transforming how healthcare workers rest and recover. This groundbreaking program, unprecedented in the health service, demonstrates the organization’s commitment to addressing workforce wellness through innovative approaches. The initiative comes at a crucial time when healthcare worker fatigue has become an increasingly pressing concern.
The scale of the problem became evident when the trial revealed that 85% of participating staff members reported chronic tiredness before the intervention began. This startling statistic underscores the widespread nature of sleep-related challenges among healthcare professionals. The trial, which included more than 300 NHS employees, achieved remarkable success, with 75% of participants experiencing measurable improvements in their sleep quality, according to comprehensive data from the South Yorkshire NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB).
The program’s methodology was carefully designed to address multiple aspects of sleep health. Participants received specially engineered pillows designed to promote better sleep posture and support. The trial went beyond simply providing equipment - it incorporated detailed sleep assessments through comprehensive surveys that examined sleeping positions, habits, and patterns. This thorough approach ensured that interventions could be tailored to individual needs.
A cornerstone of the program was the involvement of sleep posture expert James Leinhardt, whose expertise brings considerable weight to the initiative. Leinhardt’s background includes 15 years of experience within the NHS, specifically working with patients dealing with complex injuries. His transition to educating people about sleep and spinal health has proven invaluable in this context, allowing him to address both the theoretical and practical aspects of sleep improvement.
The trial’s impact is powerfully illustrated through the experience of Jane Baker, a 55-year-old educational mental health practitioner from Barnsley who works in Doncaster. Despite not working traditional shift patterns, Baker had been struggling significantly with sleep quality. Her symptoms were typical of many healthcare workers - difficulty falling asleep, trouble maintaining sleep throughout the night, physical pain, and elevated stress levels. Most concerning was that even with adequate time spent in bed, she consistently woke up feeling exhausted.
Baker’s participation in the program began when she responded to a work email about the trial. Her initial assessment involved completing an extensive questionnaire that included various visual aids to help identify sleeping positions. This detailed survey formed the basis for a personalized consultation with Leinhardt, during which they analyzed her sleep patterns and posture.
The assessment revealed that Baker’s sleep difficulties were significantly influenced by incorrect sleeping positions, which were contributing to her physical discomfort. Through the program, she received specific guidance on modifying her sleep posture, including the strategic use of additional pillows to address hip pain and improve neck alignment. These seemingly simple adjustments led to dramatic improvements in her sleep quality.
The results of these interventions were transformative for Baker. She reports significantly easier sleep onset, freedom from pain upon waking, and an overall more relaxed state. This outcome exemplifies the program’s potential to create meaningful change in participants’ lives through targeted, evidence-based interventions.
The South Yorkshire NHS ICB’s decision to launch this program reflects a broader understanding of the connection between workforce health and healthcare delivery quality. By addressing health inequalities within their workforce through innovative programs like this sleep trial, they’re taking a proactive approach to staff wellness that could serve as a model for other healthcare organizations.
The program’s success has not gone unnoticed in the broader healthcare community. Its nomination for the Workforce and Wellbeing Initiative of the Year category in the Health Service Journal awards represents significant recognition of its innovative approach and positive outcomes. The upcoming awards ceremony in London on March 19th will determine if the program receives this prestigious acknowledgment.
This trial’s success has important implications for the future of healthcare worker wellness programs. The high percentage of participants reporting improvements suggests that similar initiatives could be beneficial across the broader NHS system and potentially in other healthcare organizations globally. The program demonstrates how targeted interventions addressing fundamental aspects of health, such as sleep quality, can yield substantial benefits for healthcare workers’ overall well-being and, by extension, their ability to provide quality patient care.
The initiative’s comprehensive approach - combining physical interventions (specialized pillows), expert consultation, and individualized guidance - provides a template for future wellness programs. It shows that addressing complex health issues often requires multi-faceted solutions that consider both physical and environmental factors.

Hello and Welcome to News From The Future, spoken by the eleven labs audio clone of Dr Catherine Ball.
In this new short series we will be focussing on Sleep. We all do it, and we all recognise when we have not had enough of it.
Dr Cath’s new book The Future of Sleep is out now and available in paperback from Amazon as well as on Kindle, and hopefully on Audible. We think you’ll get something life changing from it.
Today we are talking about interesting facts from the history of sleep.
Enjoy!
Sleep deprivation affects millions globally, with an estimated 50-70 million Americans struggling to get adequate rest. This widespread issue has even been labeled an epidemic, but understanding both modern science and historical sleeping patterns offers valuable insights for improving our sleep quality.
The concept of “two sleeps” or biphasic sleep, rediscovered by Professor Roger Ekirch in the 1990s, reveals a fascinating historical pattern that challenges our modern assumptions about normal sleep. For thousands of years, people naturally divided their sleep into two distinct periods. They would have a “first sleep,” wake for several hours during the night to engage in various activities from household chores to socializing, and then return to bed for a “second sleep” until morning. This historical pattern suggests that waking up in the middle of the night isn’t necessarily a disorder but could be a natural human sleep rhythm. Understanding this can help reduce anxiety for those who experience middle-of-the-night wakefulness.
Our sleep requirements fluctuate with the changing seasons, a fact supported by recent scientific research. A comprehensive German study demonstrated that people experience longer periods of both REM and deep sleep in December compared to June. REM sleep, the most active sleep stage characterized by dreaming and increased heart rate, and deep sleep, crucial for physical repair and memory consolidation, both show seasonal variations. This natural rhythm suggests we should adjust our sleep expectations throughout the year rather than maintaining rigid year-round schedules.
Napping emerges as a powerful tool for cognitive enhancement and brain health when done correctly. A 2023 study revealed that regular nappers maintain larger brain volumes as they age, potentially delaying brain aging by three to six years. This is particularly significant as reduced brain volume has been linked to conditions like Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. The key to effective napping lies in precise timing and duration – keeping naps to 15 minutes or less and scheduling them for mid-afternoon. These “power naps” can improve mental performance for up to three hours after waking without disrupting nighttime sleep patterns.
However, not all brief sleep episodes are beneficial. Microsleeps – unconscious episodes lasting mere seconds – pose serious dangers, particularly while driving. Research from Japan found that three-quarters of truck drivers involved in collisions showed signs of microsleep before the accidents. These dangerous episodes often indicate chronic sleep deprivation, with studies showing that just two weeks of six-hour nights can produce as many microsleeps as complete sleep deprivation. This highlights the crucial importance of maintaining adequate regular sleep patterns.
Historical sleeping arrangements differed dramatically from our modern preference for private bedrooms. Until the 19th century, communal sleeping was the norm, with people regularly sharing beds with friends, colleagues, and even strangers. This practice provided both warmth and social interaction, though it came with challenges like shared parasites and morning breath. This historical perspective helps us understand how our current sleep environments and expectations have evolved.
Sleep quality proves to be as crucial as quantity, if not more so. The brain’s glymphatic system, responsible for clearing out accumulated toxins and debris, functions optimally when sleep timing aligns with our natural circadian rhythms. While seven to nine hours is the general recommendation, the timing and quality of that sleep significantly impact its restorative effects. Maintaining consistent sleep schedules helps optimize this natural cleaning process.
The evolution of sleeping arrangements reveals much about human ingenuity and social development. Medieval people often slept in “box beds” – enclosed cupboard-like structures that provided warmth but limited space and fresh air. These sleeping-cupboards, while cramped, served as practical solutions for keeping warm in poorly heated homes. Later, “tick” mattresses stuffed with straw or leaves became common, though they often harbored actual ticks, fleas, and other pests. The Victorian era introduced particularly harsh solutions for the homeless, including coffin-beds and hanging ropes for rest, highlighting the social disparities in sleep comfort throughout history.
Modern sleep science emphasizes several key principles derived from both contemporary research and historical practices. First, occasional nighttime waking shouldn’t cause anxiety – it might be perfectly natural given our historical sleep patterns. Second, we should adjust our sleep expectations seasonally, allowing for more rest during winter months. Third, strategic napping can provide significant cognitive and health benefits when properly timed. Fourth, the focus should be on both sleep quality and quantity, with particular attention to maintaining consistent sleep schedules that align with our circadian rhythms.
The physical environment for sleep has also evolved significantly. Today’s comfortable mattresses and private sleeping spaces represent a dramatic improvement over historical arrangements. However, this evolution doesn’t necessarily mean better sleep – modern distractions and artificial lighting can interfere with our natural sleep patterns. Understanding these historical perspectives and modern scientific insights can help us develop more effective sleep strategies while reducing anxiety about what constitutes “normal” sleep patterns.
By incorporating these insights into our approach to sleep, we can work toward more restorative rest patterns that acknowledge both our biological needs and the lessons learned from historical sleep practices. While these strategies might not completely solve modern sleep challenges, they offer a broader perspective on what constitutes healthy sleep and provide practical approaches for improving rest quality.
