Warning: This Monday could be a dangerous day...


We’ll all be springing forward this weekend as Daylight Savings Time kicks in - but spring with caution...

While it might not hurt much come Sunday, Monday morning could be downright dangerous. According to Science Daily, the Monday and Tuesday after moving the clocks ahead are associated with a 10 percent increase in heart attack risk. The combination of sleep deprivation and a forced change to the body’s circadian clock could be to blame. 

Other studies blame Daylight Savings Time for a rise in traffic accidents on Monday, as well as mishaps on foot, handling food and errors or lack of productivity at work.
