Can losing 1 hour of sleep really make a difference? In short, YES!
This Sunday is the start of Day Light Savings Time where many of us will change our clocks & "Spring Forward." Besides being exhausted the next day, why should we even care? Because there can be short term & long term effects while we not only lose this hour of sleep, but throughout the months of March - November we are getting less morning sunlight & throwing our circadian rhythms into a frenzy.

In just the week after Day Light Savings Time begins, research shows an associated rise in:

1. Cardiovascular disease, with a 24% higher risk of heart attacks

2. Injuries, including a 6% spike in fatal car accidents

3. Stroke rate, which increase by 8%

4. Mental health & cognitive issues, with an 11% spike in depressive episodes

5. Digestive and immune-related diseases, such as colitis, which increase by 3% in females over age 60.
