Does Daylight Savings Time Cause Heart Attacks?
Thursday November 5, 2009
Now that we've said goodbye to Daylight Savings Time for another 6 months, perhaps (according to researchers reporting in the New England Journal of Medicine last year), we'd be better off saying goodbye forever. That's because, they say, there is an association between switching to DST in the spring, and heart attacks.
Do we really need to add Daylight Savings Time to the long list of useful, enjoyable or fattening pleasures of life that we're supposed to give up? Read about it here.
there is a link between sleep deprivation and cardiovascular problems.sleep deprivation-an extremely common and almost “normal” phenomenon in modern society – occurs randomly among the population.observe and measure the effects of sleep deprivation across a large number of people. When we do so, we can see that sleep deprivation, in general, poses health risks.i think so its a good question so thanks for this great article.
“Does this mean that daylight savings time is a public menace and should be abandoned? No. (As an Ohio farmer once explained to me, his corn crop really appreciates the extra hour of sunlight provided by DST.)…But for the sake of our corn crops and the cars that run on them, we should probably leave DST alone.”
Has it occured to the Doctor that our manipulation of our clocks does not increase the daylight one second more than Ma Nature gives us on any particular day?
Some people appreciate irony, others do not.
