Here's How Daylight <br />Saving Time Affects <br />Your Health Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, November 3 at 2:00 a.m. This means we gain a <br />full hour of sleep. But just as losing an hour of sleep in spring can affect one's health, so can gaining an hour in fall. After losing an hour of <br />daylight due to setting clocks <br />back to standard time, a Danish study published in the journal 'Epidemiology' <br />found an 11 percent increase in depression in subjects. An Australian study found <br />that male suicide rates <br />increased after both the <br />spring and fall time changes. Despite the affect of depression symptoms, <br />such as seasonal affective disorder, <br />getting more sleep is still <br />better for one's health. According to a Swedish study published in the <br />'New England Journal of Medicine,' heart attack rates fell on the Monday after <br />setting the clocks back to standard time. During the spring time change, <br />heart attack rates rise. Don't forget to fall back and utilize <br />that extra hour of sleep!
