Was 24 -- or is it 23? -- hours enough to make up for the lost hour from switching to Daylight Saving Time? You might want to be extra careful today.
Springing forward can take a toll research has found.
"Getting up earlier for an hour there, I think there's correlations of heart attacks associated with that, but I think more importantly is automobile crashes," said Dr. Brobson Lutz of the Orleans Medical Society. "The data are fairly clear that there are increased automobile crashes in the springtime associated with it."
There are also studies showing increase in stress and even a risk of blood clotting from the loss of sleep.
Dr. Lutz says it would be better for our overall health if we picked a time and stuck with it year round.
Can one hour of your day make that big a difference? Research shows sleep disruption can increase the production of stress hormones, and then there's the matter of being just plain groggy.
Dr. Brobson Lutz of the Orleans Medical Society says there's also a correlation with increased heart attacks after the time change.
