A short YouTube video excerpt featuring Aaron Hartman, MD asserting that daylight saving time shifts—particularly the spring “forward” when an hour is lost—produce measurable adverse health effects across the population, including increases in heart attacks, car accidents, and strokes on the day after the shift. The speaker notes this is an annual, recurring pattern and questions whether policy changes will occur.

There are more heart attacks, more car accidents, more strokes the day after. Around these timeshifts. Yeah. It's the spring forward when we lose the hour. And so it's interesting. You see it every year. So it's one of those things where it's like, it actually has a health impact as a nation of people. It actually is detrimental to a health. We'll see if anything happens in the next year with daylight.
