Lost sleep has been linked to a higher risk of heart attacks, as well as workplace injuries increase and car accidents.
As clocks march ahead of time on March 10, 2019 and daylight saving time begins, there is a lot of anxiety around losing the hour of sleep and how to adjust to this change.
We co-lead a sleep evaluation center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and take care of patients with different kinds of sleep disorders. We regularly see patients who are dealing with the effects of sleep loss. We fully understand what’s going on with them because of our in-depth understanding of how the sleep-wake processes work.
Deepa Burman and Hiren Muzumdar are co-directors of the Pediatric Sleep Evaluation Center at the University of Pittsburgh. Burman is also an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh.
