We’re turning the clocks back this weekend. Keep the Advil handy.


Good news: we get an extra hour with Daylight Saving Time. 

Bad news: It might give us a headache. According to Dr. Stewart Tepper at the Cleveland Clinic, the time change can trigger a cycle of headaches for a lot of people. The headaches might even occur every day and last for six to eight weeks. 


Your DST headache could start a few days after the change. They’re more common in men than in women. If you’re prone to headaches, talk to your doctor about using melatonin to regulate your circadian rhythms and possibly prevent the onset of the fall-back headaches.
