Hey folks, Aaron Scott here.

So daylight savings time ends this weekend,

which means we get an extra hour of sleep this Sunday at 2 a.m.

But, but but but, it is an hour that we lost earlier

in the year, in March.

And of course, people have strong feelings about this,

whether we should change the time at all

and in which direction.

The US government has even taken up the issue.

And a big question in this daylight savings debate

is how it affects people's health.

So we talked to health correspondent Allison Aubrey,

this past spring, to get some answers.

You're listening to shortwave from NPR.

So much of life is about trade-offs.

You give a little, you get a little.

And we've got a trade-off today that I sure have thoughts on.

Maybe you do too.

What about you, Allison Aubrey?

Yes, I've got some thoughts.

We're talking dear listeners about the twice yearly

changing of the clocks.
