Seems reasonable. Loss of sleep, altered circadian rhythm, missed appointments, more errors in judgement and in mechanical execution...it all adds up.

"The Monday following the spring time change (after losing an hour of sleep) was associated with a 24% increase in daily heart attack counts and the Tuesday following the fall time change (gaining an hour of sleep) was conversely associated with a 21% reduction in heart attacks, according to a study from Michigan."

Interesting findings, proves again how important sleep is to us! Hate spring forward, been getting light headache since yesterday morning.

Smart are the countries and states that do NOT go to daylight savings.
Unfortunately, I don't live in one of them.
