Body Clock All Messed Up Because of DST?

More heart attacks
Being tired can decrease productivity, concentration and general well-being. Several studies also link DST to increased risk of heart attacks, road accidents and sleep problems:

• A Swedish study in 2008 found that the risk of having a heart attack increases in the first three days after switching to DST
• Similarly, the risk decreases after setting the time back to Standard Time in the fall.
• Traffic accidents increase on the Monday following the start of DST. Tired drivers is the main reason.

Interesting facts about Daylight Savings Time of which I was unaware of. I do know after the change, it is hard on the body for me in general.

Overall I'm just tired, but it's only while I'm at work.
