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. https://www.businessinsider.com/daylight-saving-time-is-dead...

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.

Depends on how early your day starts. If you normally start at 05:00 o'clock standard time then to get up at 04:00 o'clock standard time is pretty stressful.
