Springing forward can wreck sleep on Concerta, and some people move the swallow time with the new wake clock while others do not. Daylight saving is a one-hour change, not a reason to invent a late-day dose. Concerta is a long-acting methylphenidate product; the Canadian monograph and NHS how-and-when pages describe usual morning use. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
