Here's How Daylight Saving Time Affects Your Health Daylight Saving Time begins at <br />2 a.m. on March 8. This means we lose a <br />full hour of sleep. A recent study from the University of Colorado says that when clocks are moved up, the effect has a <br />negative impact <br />on one's health. According to the study, heart attack risks <br />increase 25% due to the sleep loss. The risk drops 21% <br />in the fall when we<br />gain an hour of sleep. The Mayo Clinic adds that daylight savings affects sleeping patterns for nearly a week. To help remedy, the <br />Better Sleep Council has a tip. The nonprofit says to go to sleep <br />15 minutes before your normal bedtime<br /> days before the shift.
