[World Sleep Day] Recovering From Daylight Savings May Take More Than Three Weeks, Youngest Hit Hardest
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Mar. 11, 2025 – Do you find yourself feeling more tired once the clocks spring forward for Daylight Savings Time (DST)? Well, you're not alone. Although losing an hour the night of DST may seem insignificant, examining the sleep patterns of global Samsung Health users from the US, Canada and more than 40 European countries reveals a ripple effect that causes weeks-long disruptions to sleep patterns, hitting younger age groups the hardest. DST Takes a Toll on Sleep, With Younger Generations Most Disrupted When looking into how much of an impact DST has on people the morning after, one thing is clear, everyone's sleep patterns are thrown off. In fact, people spent a little too much time counting sheep the night of the time change, falling asleep 33 minutes later than the previous night, waking up 19 minutes earlier. While losing sleep isn't easy at any age, those in their 20s likely felt it the most thanks to an extremely late bedtime and a seeming inability to sleep in. Moreover, Sleep Score – calculated based on an evaluation of a users' total sleep time, awake time, sleep cycle, plus physical and mental recovery – was at the worst level for weeks after DST – and again, people in their 20s appeared to be most affected. When examining in the seven-day Sleep Score average, the 20s age group demonstrated the slowest score recovery rate, while older age groups adapted much quicker. By the third week, Sleep Score for all age groups were still not stable as normal, showing fluctuations in the quality of a good night's rest. Useful Tips To Help You Get a Good Night's Sleep and a Quicker Recovery The transition into DST clearly affects the sleep patterns of all age groups long after the clocks change, but for younger generations, prioritizing sleep management during this time couldn't be more important. In recognition of World Sleep Day, Samsung is sharing useful tips that make understanding your sleep patterns and habits as seamless and effortless as possible for a better night's rest. Creating an ideal sleep environment is critical to a good night's sleep. Later this month, Samsung Health app update will make this possible by providing guidance and analysis on the key factors that influence sleep quality, including temperature, humidity, CO2 and illuminance via a Sleep Environment Report – leveraging SmartThings and the power of Samsung's extensive device ecosystem. With a better understanding of how your environment affects sleep, easily optimize your room conditions for an improved night's rest. In addition to perfecting your sleep environment, understanding how activity can impact energy level is key. Samsung Health app updates also bring enhancements to Energy Score , which provides an indicator of how much energy users can expend throughout the day. In addition to sleep and heart rate, a new detailed factor about activity – Activity Consistency – will help you understand your overall condition in greater detail by evaluating your activity levels over the past four weeks. It's also important to understanding how you're sleeping and making necessary adjustments through sleep training. Sleep Coaching makes this simple by seamlessly tracking your sleep patterns over 7 days and assigning a sleep animal based on the results. With a personalized coaching program, develop healthy habits and routines that set you on a positive path to achieving your sleep goals. World Sleep Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of sleep. With the latest Samsung Health app updates and the Galaxy ecosystem, Samsung remains committed to helping users optimize their sleep and lead healthier, more balanced life.
