Spring-Forward, Fall-Back Daylight Savings Adverse Effects Worsened by Blue-Enriched LED Lights

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, February 23, 2023

BOSTON, Feb. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When the clocks are adjusted forward for Daylight Saving Time on March 12th, over 300 million Americans will rise an hour earlier. While this may sound like a minor event, it is not. Not only will people lose sleep, but their disrupted circadian rhythms will cause many health impacts. Each year, as people try to adjust, heart attacks increase by 17-24%, older patients have 20% more strokes and a 6% rise in fatal traffic accidents. Daylight Savings plays havoc in part due to the increased exposure to indoor lighting. Changing the time people see light affects their circadian rhythm more with the increased usage of blue-enriched LEDs.

Key Points: 
  • Daylight Savings plays havoc in part due to the increased exposure to indoor lighting.
  • Changing the time people see light affects their circadian rhythm more with the increased usage of blue-enriched LEDs.
  • The US Senate voted unanimously in 2022 to leave the clocks on Daylight Savings Time year-round in the "Sunshine Protection Act."
  • Dr. Moore-Ede offers practical ideas to fend off the effects of Daylight Savings.
