We lose an hour of sleep this weekend. I'm over it, are you?

There have been so many studies done that prove that Daylight Saving Time is bad for our health! "The Monday and Tuesday after daylight saving time in the spring have been associated with a 10% increase in heart attacks," according to a 2012 study at the University of Alabama Birmingham.

Another study by Biospace proves, "the overall rate of ischemic stroke was 8 percent higher during the first two days after a daylight saving time transition."

Even though I feel these petitions RARELY work, just for fun, lets see how many signatures we can get: Sign the petition! 

  • Cut out caffeine.  Make sure you don't have any caffeine at least six hours before bed.
  • Skip the alcohol too.  Even just one drink can disturb your sleep.
  • Eat light.  Don't eat anything for at least two or three hours before you plan to go to bed.  Otherwise it can interfere with the quality of your sleep.
  • Go to bed earlier.  To minimize the impact of the time change, make a few gradual adjustments rather than one big one.

GOOD LUCK!
