The first Monday that follows DST is full of woe
It’s the dreaded Monday that follows the switch to daylight saving time. We drag our bodies from bed and curse the powers that robbed of us of an hour of sleep.
While the majority of the world keeps its circadian rhythms stable, Canadians must suffer through an archaic ritual that science shows is to our detriment.Studies have shown an association between sleep and heart attacks. Short of sleep has been associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and even premature death. In particularly sensitive people, the hour of lost sleep may increase heart rate, blood pressure, stress levels and chemicals that promote inflammation.
An observational review completed by researchers at the University of Ferrara looked at the literature on daylight saving time and heart attack and found seven studies, five in Europe and two in the U.S, accounting for a total of 87,994 cases. All showed an association with an increased frequency of heart attack, with increases ranging from four to 29 per cent. Three found a higher incidence of heart attacks on the Monday after the time change.
