Here’s our daily newsletter for Mon., March 10. 

The return of Daylight Saving Time over the weekend means a lost hour of sleep until November. While a new Gallup poll suggests a majority of Americans want to see a final sunset for DST, here are a few podcasts and reads on how to adjust to the annual nuisance. Yeah, we said it.

👓 NPR has an insightful article on how DST affects your health and some tips on resetting your inner clock, including light exposure, exercise, and even what to eat and drink.

🎧 The Open to Debate podcast hashes out DST over quality-of-life enhancements versus negative impacts on health and productivity.

🗞️ Nearly a dozen states have introduced bills to end DST, but it will require an act of Congress to permanently end the time change.

🎧 Public radio station WXPN has compiled a Spotify playlist called Time Is A Construct to help ease you into DST, including tracks by everyone from Donna Summer and Pink Floyd to Portishead and The Beatles.
