Time changes make many people feel tired, irritable, and unable to sleep.
Frequent disruption of our internal ‘body clock’ is linked to type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Daylight saving time starts this weekend, and it can often be the beginning of new dramas getting kids to bed. Here’s how to make the transition a little smoother.
Breast milk contains ingredients in concentrations that change over the course of the day. Researchers think milk is chrononutrition, carrying molecular messages to help set a baby’s internal clock.

The old saying ‘the early bird catches the worm’ might be especially fitting when it comes to peak mental and physical performance.
Daylight saving time begins this weekend, which means many of us will get an hour less sleep. But the health effects go beyond sleep – and can last two weeks or more. Here’s what the research says.

Americans Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young share the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for work that explained how our cells keep track of time.
The winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine discovered how our internal body clock works.
How to eat yourself brighter.
