It is not about the process of changing the clock, but about the fact that the body should be able to perform one hour earlier from one day to the next.
Especially when changing from standard time to DST, this is stressful for the body.

The transition is over the weekend, so really one ought to be able to adjust 20min a day--again, something which could be automated.
But honestly I believe this reporting is overblown. The body is able to adjust rather quickly to such a small difference in time, as many of us who (used to) travel quite frequently know.
These days all clocks change automatically, and there are standard and constantly improving datetime libraries to help applications manage these human factors in a standard way. Your morning alarm is automatically updated, you calendar events automatically reflect the timezone they are defined in.
The only curveball is when when the government arbitrarily changes the rules, like then did not too long ago in extending DST. And which DST advocates are advocating for doing _again_.
