Daylight Savings Time Health Effects

Losing an hour of sleep can effect alertness and in some cases might increase the rick of potentially fatal car accidents.

Those who work more physical jobs have been shown to experience more frequent and severe workplace injuries at the start of daylight savings time in the spring. The effect has not been detected at the end of daylight saving time in the fall.

A study in 2008 showed the rate of heart attacks during the first three weekdays following springtime daylight savings time increased by about 5% from the average rate during other times of the year.  It all comes back to sleep patterns and lack thereof due to losing that one hour.

It's just a slang term for not doing work while at work and searching Facebook, Twitter, etc.  It isn't life threatening but it loses companies money!

For some people, losing an hour of sleep can cause chronic pain. Cluster headaches are headaches that cluster within one side of a person's head and can cause pain for days or weeks at a time.
