Daylight Saving dangerous for health, increases risk of heart attack: Health experts
Ontario: Once again, Ontarians move their clocks forward by an hour this time, like every year. This was done because daylight saving time has been implemented once again from Sunday morning.
Doctors in the US are discussing this practice of changing the time every year. Doctors say that daylight saving time in Canada started on March 12, 2023 and to end on November 5, 2023. Doctors also say that daylight saving time increases the chances of getting a heart attack or other heart diseases.
Sleep specialists and health experts say that with the increase in daylight saving time, the light also increases and it makes it difficult for people to sleep and it also adds to many other issues.
The American Academy for Sleep Medicine (AASM) touched upon the issue of the exercise, which is held twice a year. The academy said that this increases heart-related problems as well as mood disorders and increases accidents.
Recently, ASAM and the American Medical Association said that it is in everyone’s interest to stick to the standard time. It is worth mentioning that a bill was passed in Ontario in 2020 that daylight saving time should last forever, but there was no general opinion on this.
Last year, the US Senate unanimously voted in favor of permanently adopting daylight saving time, but the bill was not passed in the House of Representatives.
The bill was introduced by senators once again last week. If the bill is passed in both the Senate and the House, the changed time on this weekend will be the last changed time in the US. After this, Canadian provinces will also be able to bring such a law.
