Don’t forget to turn your clocks back tonight, it’s heart healthy.
Turning your clock back on Sunday may be good for your heart. Swedish researchers looked at 20 years of records and discovered that the number of heart attacks dipped on the Monday after clocks were set back an hour, possibly because people got an extra hour of sleep.
But moving clocks forward in the spring appeared to have the opposite effect. There were more heart attacks during the week after the start of daylight saving time, particularly on the first three days of the week.
Just what my wife was saying the other day. Amazing how brilliant minds think alike.
I’m taking Sunday off to turn back all my clocks. ;o)
@Gandalfe: I’m taking Sunday off to prepare myself for Tuesday
@Kirk M: You’ve got yourself a sweetie, best hang on to her
I always did have a special fondness for turning back the clock… Now I know why!
I have always hated the time change. I know the arguments about conserving energy and all. I simply don’t believe them. My body simply doesn’t like to shift and our three alarm clocks (aka, cats) don’t have reset buttons. I really wish they would choose a time and stick with it.
@Keli: it was nice this morning looking at the clock and realizing… I don’t have to get up yet.
@Mary Walker: you know who really hated this last night? NURSES, it’s awful working 7P-7A when the time rolls back. Hope your cats adjust soon.
