spring_forward_with_10_sleep_tips.xml
Daylight saving time is the period between March and November when people in most U.S. states move their clocks forward by an hour. In March, we"spring forward" to DST by setting our clocks ahead. In November, we"fall back" to standard time and set our clocks back.
In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, making DST the national standard. But states can opt out of it. Arizona and Hawaii, both of which have plentiful daylight, don't participate. Many doctors believe long-term problems can result when our internal body rhythms are out of sync with the sun and seasonal changes. That's why the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and American Medical Association have recommended that the U.S. remain on standard time year-round.Other research found that the risk of an ischemic stroke went up by 8% during the 2 days after both the spring and fall time changes.
Most of these effects are thought to be due to fatigue and lack of judgment due to sleep loss, as well as reduced immunity and body-wide stress that can result when your circadian rhythm is out of whack.Experts agree that it's harder to"spring forward" into daylight saving time than to"fall back" to standard time. One reason is that many of us lose an hour of sleep on the night of the transition.
