Daylight Saving Time Is Literally Killing Us

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 11, 2018.

Early that morning, most phones and computers will automatically shift an hour ahead.

The interruption to our internal clocks literally kills people: incidents of heart attacks, strokes, and fatal car accidents all spike around the start of Daylight Saving Time each year.

Daylight saving time is a killer.

I am also blaming it for my loss on the tennis court last night.

I can't get accustomed to either of the twice-yearly time changes.  My sleep patterns are off and I have fatigue for several days afterwards.  If I had it my way, there would be no time change.
