The annual ritual in which we exchange an hour morning for evening, usually seems like a completely harmless displacement. But every year, on the Monday after this spring change, hospitals report a 24% jump in heart attacks. Can this be just a coincidence? Not. The exact opposite trend is observed in the autumn. On Tuesday, as clocks return to normal astronomical times, heart rate drops by 21% just because people get an extra hour on their pillows.

The reason why the summer scrolling of the time one hour ahead kills so many people is mainly to the disturbed sleep regimes. Scientists have found that we are all deprived of a 40-minute full sleep for the change. "That's how delicate and vulnerable our body is to the lack of an hour's sleep," said Matthew Walker, a sleeping expert in Business Insider. In the spring the change is a curse, and in the autumn it is a blessing for the body, he argues. "The brain, through the holes in attention and micro-sleep, is just as sensitive to sleep disturbances as the heart," he adds.
