  • News spoke with a local doctor to hear about what kind of health effects can arise from the hourly shift that comes with Daylight Saving Time starting in the spring.

The article from MSN discusses the health effects of Daylight Saving Time (DST) as explained by Dr. David Rosenberg, a local physician. He highlights that the transition into DST, where clocks are set forward by one hour, can disrupt our circadian rhythms, leading to several health issues. These include increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, and mood disturbances due to sleep deprivation. Dr. Rosenberg notes that the sudden change can cause a misalignment between our internal body clock and the external environment, leading to sleep loss, which in turn affects cognitive functions, mood, and overall health. He suggests that people should gradually adjust their sleep schedules before the time change to mitigate these effects. Additionally, he recommends exposure to natural light in the morning to help reset the body's clock and advises caution with activities requiring alertness, like driving, immediately after the time shift.
