Daylight saving time and stimulant timing. Do you shift the dose with the clock?

Daylight saving is a one-hour clock change. Some people shift the stimulant with wake time so the dose still sits at the start of the new clock morning; others keep the old body-clock hour for a few days. Neither approach is a proven protocol that protects sleep for everyone. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.

Spring forward always wrecks me, clocks or no clocks. I swallowed Concerta with the new wake time because that is when the alarm went off. I did not skip the Sunday capsule. Sleep was still garbage for a week. I mentioned it later, not as a request to chase daylight. Only my March in this house, not a shift protocol I would copy.
