Good morning ... just doing the work dance...a few showers around...and looks like next Monday will be back to DST...already do not like it...no sir...not one bit. Thinking one should be picked fairly, and we stick to it. Have a great day.
 
We need to stick to this time/standard time. It's better for sleeping and better for your heart. It's actually been proven that DST is not healthy for humans.
 
According to research, Daylight Saving Time (DST) can be considered bad for your heart, as studies have shown a noticeable increase in heart attacks, particularly on the Monday following the "spring forward" time change when an hour of sleep is lost, potentially due to the disruption of your body's natural circadian rhythm; this is supported by findings from the American Heart Association and other medical institutions.

Key points about DST and heart health:
  • Increased risk of heart attacks:
    Studies have observed a spike in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring time change when transitioning to DST.

  • Disrupted circadian rhythm:
    The sudden shift in sleep schedule can disrupt your body's internal clock, leading to stress hormones and potential cardiovascular complications.

  • Vulnerable populations:
    People with pre-existing heart conditions may be particularly susceptible to the negative effects of DST on their heart health.
