New Mexico State and UNLV Study Links Daylight Saving Time Transitions to Increased Neuropsychological Risks

A new study from researchers at New Mexico State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, indicates that the biannual transition to and from daylight saving time may correlate with increased neuropsychological risks. The findings suggest that these clock shifts impact the cognitive and psychological health of the global population, with potential complications for individuals already managing chronic mental health conditions.

The research team, representing the College of Health, Education and Social Transformation at New Mexico State University and the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, analyzed the effects of these time changes on human health. The study highlights that the disruption to circadian rhythms caused by shifting clocks affects millions of people worldwide. By examining the relationship between these seasonal adjustments and mental health outcomes, the researchers identified specific vulnerabilities in populations that experience these time transitions.
