The Monday after daylight savings brings a 24% uptick in heart attack patients Now that you’ve set your clock ahead an hour, it’s time to check your ticker. Hospitals see a 24% increase in heart attack patients the Monday following daylight savings time, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal study. By Tuesday, reports of heart problems drop back to near their normal rates. That study also shows a 24% decrease in heart attack claims when clocks are set back an hour in the fall. “That's how fragile and susceptible your body is to even just one hour of lost sleep,” Matthew Walker, author of “How We Sleep” told Business Insider. Their report finds that “springing ahead” causes people in time zones that abide by the rule to lose 40 minutes of sleep. Those who work the night shift will also lose an hour of work, which could reduce pay. The only states in the U.S. that don’t adjust for the time change are Hawaii and Arizona. Indiana became the 48th state to recognize Daylight Saving Time in 2006, 12 of its 92 counties are on Central Standard Time while the other 80 are an hour ahead on Eastern Standard Time. https://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/ny-news-health-heart-attack-daylight-savings-time-24-percent-20190311-story.html?outputType=amp https://magaimg.net/img/7gmt.png https://magaimg.net/img/7gmu.png
