On The Drew Mariani Show, Drew sat down with sleep expert Dr. Lou Tartaglia, and let's just say: your sleep habits (or lack thereof) might be more important than you think! 

👉 Daylight Saving Time Drama: Former President Trump recently said he wants to nix daylight saving time. Senator Marco Rubio has a bill (The Sunshine Protection Act) to keep daylight saving all year. But the American Academy of Sleep Medicine says nope: standard time is healthier because it matches our natural body rhythms better. 🌞

👉 Science Says Standard Time Wins: Dr. Tartaglia broke it down: messing with the clock disrupts your God-given circadian rhythm. Your body literally runs on sunlight cues, so keeping the time steady is better for sleep, mood, and health. The only ones who love daylight saving? Golfers who want more evening tee time. ⛳️

👉 The Sleep Struggle is Real: From kids staying up till dawn to adults battling sleep apnea, shifting schedules mess us up. Sleep deprivation affects everything: hormones, digestion, even your heart health. (Pro tip: Get some sunlight between 8-10 a.m. to keep your body clock happy.) 🌅

👉 Sleep Apnea & Weight Loss: Sleep apnea = when you stop breathing at night because your airway closes. It can lead to heart issues, stroke, and yes, weight gain. 

👉 Why You Should Care: Lack of sleep is more than being cranky: it's linked to serious health risks. CPAP machines can be considered if you want, but lifestyle changes (like weight loss and consistent sleep habits) are often key.

Dr. Tartaglia wrapped up with a powerful reminder: Sleep is a gift from God. If you’re struggling, get help! 

Final Takeaway: Want to honor God with your health? Protect your sleep! 😴
