The 15-year-old, who was abused by a paedophile two years ago, took his own life after state media controlled by the Ruling Law and Justice party revealed some details about the case. East Asia, South Asia and North Africa are worst affected while New Zealand and Australia face the lowest threat If we can identify days when there may be surges in heart attacks, we can be ready to better care for our patients.” Whatever the reason, he said, the findings may indicate a need to better staff hospitals the Monday after setting our clocks forward… Solidifying his political power, Xi Jinping took oath for a third time as China’s president on Friday. – which can be particularly damaging to teenagers who are already susceptible to sleep problems. The AASM in a recent statement said, “Standard time is closely aligned with the position of the sun, which is important for the body because sunlight is the most powerful external cue for the human circadian rhythm.” Yahoo quoted Dr Amneedt Sandhu, a cardiology fellow at the University of Colorado, who led a sleep study on heart health as saying the Monday after the switch to DST saw a 25 per cent increase in heart attacks compared to other Mondays of the year. Indeed, NPR quoted a study as showing that hospitalisations for atrial fibrillation increased in the aftermath of the change to daylight savings time. According to a piece in The Conversation, researchers have found that heart attacks and sleep deprivation in teens increase as the clocks “spring ahead” every March. Experts say even a small change can have an impact on Circadian rhythm – the body’s internal 24-hour body clock which regulates cycles of alertness and sleepiness, Meanwhile, studies show an increase in heart attacks and car accidents following the switch to daylight saving time A 2009 study showed a 3.6 per cent increase in mining workplace injuries on the Monday after the switch to daylight savings time.

Advancing our clocks on Sunday, March 12, means we keep Orion in view a little longer at the expense of the spring constellations.

All the stars in the western half of the sky (which behave like the evening sun) set an hour later. Thanks to the time change I have to wait until 10:30 to get my vernal fix. In winter, standard time puts the sun to bed around 4 p.m. If we went to daylight time year-round, the winter sun would rise instead around 9 a.m. Overall, the effects of daylight time in the southern states are less extreme than those experienced by people in the northern states and Canada. Those in the east (like the morning sun) rise an hour later. Changing to DST delays the exit of the winter constellations. Similarly, it delays the arrival of the spring groups. Close to the equator daylight time becomes irrelevant because daylight-length varies little across the year. Arizona is the only other state not on daylight time. or later) in the summer months. Speaking of which, be sure to set yours ahead today or you'll be an hour late to work tomorrow.

The “Sunshine Protection Act” should be abandoned and a bill introduced to the Senate to Make Standard Time Permanent. You don’t have to be a scientist to understand that natural light in the morning helps us to wake up and be cognitively ready to begin the day. Standard time is “real time.” A common myth is that Daylight Savings Time was created for farmers’ benefit. The bill’s name is a misnomer, as is the phrase “Daylight Savings Time” itself. Natural light in the evening interferes with our body’s natural inclination to wind down for the night and be ready to sleep. One argument for continuing to use Daylight Savings Time as the 20th century advanced was that it would lower energy consumption.

MARSHFIELD, WI (OnFocus) – Twice a year, millions of people around the world adjust their clocks to observe daylight saving time (DST).

Still, the potential impact of DST on mental health should not be ignored. One area that has been of particular concern is the impact of DST on mental health. Additionally, research has shown that changes in sunlight exposure can have an impact on mood and behavior. There is no evidence for any change in these outcomes during the Fall transition. This practice, which originated in the early 20th century as a means of saving energy, has been a subject of much debate in recent years. While some argue that DST provides more daylight during the summer months, others believe that it causes more harm than good.

Losing an hour of sleep drastically disturbs the body’s circadian rhythm and raises the risk of cardiovascular failure.

In 2022, the Sunshine Protection Act was unexpectedly – and unanimously – passed by the U.S. In March of 1918, the United States adopted DST, a yearly tradition that turns the clocks an hour forward in the spring and an hour backward in the fall. observes Standard Time, marked by fewer hours of sunlight and an extra hour of sleep. Standard Time contributes to the onset of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), sometimes referred to as seasonal depression.
