Honestly? It’s kind of a historical joke. We blame World War I and a guy named Benjamin Franklin, who was just annoyed people wasted candle wax. Daylight Saving Time started as a fuel-saving measure. Now it’s just a way to confuse your cat and make you late for brunch.

So you’re groggy. Your brain feels like static. What do you do? Go outside. Seriously. Morning sunlight is your best friend. It tells your brain, “Hey, wake up, it’s not midnight.” Your internal clock is confused—give it a cheat code.
