Are you able to view the section on the digestive system? It has instructions on what to do with your first and last meal of the day, and how to adjust both for preparing in advance and without advance preparation for DST. Perhaps it's not showing up? :)
Here is the true story on why we have DST. A group which represents convenience stores like 7-11 conducted a study and found people buy more from their members during daylight hours. They hired a lobbyist who created the Ben Franklin Institute for Energy Conservation. By the way, the lobbyist was my neighbor. He went to Congress an convinced them that DST was a major way of saving energy and they bought it--passing the legislation that we have today that extends DST for most of the year.
Bo, thanks for sharing your article. The lobbyist was Jim Benfield who also lobbied for the dollar coin. I happen to be vacationing in Puerto Rico which refuses to follow DST-a practice that some Indiana counties also used to follow if memory serves me well.
I'm the complete opposite. Can't wait for DST. "Falling back" in the Fall totally depresses me.
The return to standard time often aggravates mood disorders, especially S.A.D.
Do we eat 10 minutes earlier or later each day?

Yes I am just confused because for sleep it says earlier and I would assume it would be the same for meals.
Thanks for this! I share snippets during my Yin Yoga class today in hopes we can all start easing our body into this transition ❤️

Hi Mitchell, thanks for taking the time to comment. How interesting that the first lobbyist was your neighbor! I covered the business interests issue behind DST (and Michael Downing's work) in my 2023 column here, in case it is of interest: https://boforbes.substack.com/i/108454197/a-brief-history-of-daylight-saving-time
