The clock change for daylight saving time increases anxiety in the general population.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the clock change for daylight saving time increases anxiety in the general population?

Partly. Population-level English records show no rise in anxiety after the spring clock change and a small decrease after the autumn change, while a systematic review finds no consistent psychiatric effects; one small study of parents of infants links pre-existing anxiety to greater DST-related stress, which does not establish a general-population increase.
