(St. Louis, MO) — The clocks will be changing soon and that can have an impact on health.
Erik Herzog, a professor of biology at Washington University, says heart attacks have been measured to go up when we spring forward to Daylight Saving Time and heart attacks go down when we fall back.
Studies show there’s an increase in vehicle crashes for about three days after springing forward. However, when shifting to standard time, there are two days worth of a lower number of crashes when we fall back.
Daylight saving time ends on Sunday, November 1 at 2:00 a.m.
