⏰✨ How Daylight Saving Time Impacts Your Health ✨⏰
Let's get into the #health impacts of Daylight Saving Time, starting 2 A.M., March 10th. Yes, it's that time of the year we 'spring forward' and lose a precious hour of sleep. 😴💔
A revealing study from the University of Colorado (GO BUFFS) highlights a concerning aspect of this annual time change: a significant 25% increase in heart attack risk due to the sudden loss of sleep. 💔⏰ Conversely, in the fall, when we gain an hour back, the risk drops by 21%.
But it's not just heart health at stake. The Mayo Clinic reports that our sleeping patterns can be off for nearly a week because of the shift, affecting our overall wellbeing. 😵🛌
Looking for a silver lining? The Better Sleep Council offers a simple yet effective tip: start going to bed 15 minutes earlier than your usual time in the days leading up to the time change. 🌙💤
Let’s prepare our bodies and minds for the shift. Remember, it’s more than just changing the clocks; it’s about adjusting our internal clocks too. 🕰️🧘♀️
