Abstract
Introduction
The twice-yearly transitions between standard time and daylight-savings time (DST) introduce mild circadian misalignments, which are associated with disrupted sleep, and increased risks for adverse public health and safety consequences. Previous evidence is based on self-reported data, limited geographical locations, and relatively small sample sizes. Here, we quantify the acute impact of seasonal clock time changes on objective measures of sleep in a large global sample.
