Here's How Daylight Saving Time Affects Your Health Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. on March 10. This means we lose a full hour of sleep. A recent study from the University of Colorado says that when clocks are moved up, the effect has a negative impact on one's health. According to the study, heart attack risks increase 25% due to the sleep loss. The risk drops 21% in the fall when we gain an hour of sleep. The Mayo Clinic adds that daylight savings affects sleeping patterns for nearly a week. To help remedy, the Better Sleep Council has a tip. The nonprofit says to go to sleep 15 minutes before your normal bedtime days before the shift.
