Do we get an extra hour of sleep?

Recently, I've heard people talk about 'getting an extra hour of sleep'. Is this a common occurrence or related to some specific event? I'd love an extra hour, especially on a Sunday!

If you are in a country that follows daylight saving, you only get an extra hour when the clocks go back in autumn. For those of us managing PCOS, regular sleep is so important, so try to keep your sleep schedule as stable as possible.

In India, we do not have daylight saving, so our sleep hours remain the same. To get a truly restful extra hour of sleep naturally, try drinking warm milk with a little cardamon before bed. It calms the system beautifully.

If you are living in a region with daylight saving, yes, you get an extra hour of sleep when autumn starts. I hope you get some very deep and refreshing rest.

I was reading about this because my cousins in the US were talking about 'falling back.' We don't have it here in India, but over there they get an extra hour of sleep in November when the clocks shift.

Do not worry too much about these time changes if you are in India, as our routine remains natural. True rest comes from keeping your mind free of worries before sleeping, which is what I have practiced for years.
