Daylight Saving Time Causes Heart Attacks
According to the US News and World Report, during the first week of daylight saving time, there is a 5% increase in heart-attack incidents (due to people not getting enough sleep). There is a slight decline in heart-attack incidents during the first week after daylight saving time ends.
The moral of the story: get plenty of sleep to reduce the risk of heart attack.
Another study published by CNN in 2009 shows that the average American gets 6.7 hours of sleep daily. In 2001, the average American slept 7 hours.
