As we get ready to spring forward this weekend, it’s important to note the toll Daylight Saving Time can have on your health.
Darker mornings and more evening light can knock your body clock out of whack — which means daylight saving time can usher in sleep trouble for weeks or longer. Studies have even found an uptick in heart attacks and strokes right after the March time change.
