Losing an hour of sleep as daylight saving time kicks in can do more than leave you tired and cranky the next day — it also could harm your health. Darker mornings and more evening sun together knock out of whack a body clock that regulates when we're drowsy and when we're alert. Studies even show an uptick in heart attacks and strokes the first few days after the spring time change. Getting more morning light can help reset your circadian rhythm and get sleep that's vital for good health.
Sunday is the time to move clocks back in the U.S. Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Nov. 3, which means setting your clock back an hour. Standard time will last until March 9 when we will again "spring forward" with the return of daylight saving time. That spring time change can be tough on your body but the fall change should be easier to adjust to. Most countries don't make time changes. It's mostly North America and Europe. In the U.S., there are two exceptions. Arizona and Hawaii stick to standard time year-round.
There's a lot to be said for the work/play energy of a nice studio or other small apartment during the day. But how do you bring that energy down to get a good night's sleep? When electronics, cookery, clothes and books all share one space, it can be a challenge to create a restful refuge. Design and sleep experts say to start by prioritizing your sleep space. Get a good bed — regular or fold-down. Create a buffer zone between your sleep area and the rest of the apartment. You might use furniture or a screen to do that. Cut down on sensory stimuli by freshening the air and blocking the noise and light of appliances, electronics and the street.
Sales of raw milk appear to be on the rise, despite an outbreak of bird flu in U.S. dairy cows. Federal officials warn about the health risks of drinking raw milk at any time, but especially during the outbreak. Weekly sales of raw cow's milk have jumped compared with the same periods last year. That's according retail market research data show. Raw milk farmers say they can't keep unpasteurized products in stock. Some people claim that raw milk has health benefits, but multiple studies show it is one of the riskiest foods people can consume.

The Supreme Court is wrestling with major questions about the growing issue of homelessness as it considers whether cities can ban people from sleeping outside when shelter space is lacking. Monday's case is considered the most significant on homelessness to come before the high court in decades. In California and other Western states, courts have ruled it's unconstitutional to fine and arrest people sleeping in homeless encampments if shelter space is lacking. Officials contend that makes it difficult to manage encampments. The case comes from Grants Pass, Oregon, which started fining people $295 for sleeping outside. Advocates argue punishing people who need a place to sleep will make the crisis worse.
