Rich Bello (YouTube, Jan 31, 2024) comments on the effects of Daylight Saving Time on sleep and downstream harms. He summarizes findings from a large study: when clocks move forward in spring (lose one hour of sleep) heart attacks and traffic incidents spike each year, while in fall (gain one hour) heart attacks and traffic accidents decline. The clip emphasizes directional statistical effects (spikes/plummets) but provides no numeric estimates in this chunk.

The biggest study in sleep deprivation. Daylight Savings time in the Northern Hemisphere. What happens? We move the clocks forward an hour, we lose an hour of sleep. They take a look at the statistics. Heart attacks spike up by a lot every year. The statistics are the same by a lot. Traffic incidents spike up by a lot. What happens in the fall? Clocks go back by an hour. People gain an hour of sleep. Opposite happens. Heart attacks plummet. Traffic accidents plummet.
