We deal with so many artificial challenges from the “system” on a daily basis…

And the HUMAN… what does the HUMAN say??…

Daylight savings time, DST, is one of these artificial “system” challenges.

To randomly change everyone’s diurnal rhythm by an hour is so HARD on us humans.

It’s hard on us physically, mentally and emotionally.

Research published in Current Biology determined that fatal car crashes increase around 6% the week after DST begins.

An average of 3.6 more [workplace] injuries has been found to occur on the Mondays following DST compared to other days

A study of hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction has found a 24% increase in heart attack rates on the Monday after the DST change.

How can we take care of ourselves at this time? 

Sleep extra these next couple weeks. It may seem like no big deal – only an hour… but it’s HUGE. The impact of DST is HUGE. You will need extra sleep to adapt. Get to bed earlier – who cares that the clock says – obviously the clock is “made-up” – we randomly change it by an hour twice a year… if you feel tired – go lie down, no matter what the clock/computer says. Listen to your human body instead.

Gonna keep it brief – working on something exciting to prepare us all for spring.

Next week – after I’ve had more sleep.

Until then – rest well.
