Bizarrely, the second time I saw it I was on a camping trip with family and friends and remarking on what a fascinating sight it is, when it appeared. Happened again the third time I saw it from a pub garden. I wonder…is it alcohol induced? Related Posts:The Elements Song – Periodic Table of VideosUse a ...

This weekend Health Canada is giving clinicians across the country (and really all of North America) an opportunity to feel the anxiety, fear, and excitement all over again. In 2007, the dates for switching between Standard and Daylight Saving time were changed, and the authorities, three years into the new schedule, have issued a warning for this weekend’s one hour rollback: Medical equipment manufactured prior to 2007 may not function optimally if the equipment has not been updated by manufacturers to compensate for the new dates. To date, Health Canada has not received any reports of device malfunct...

When looked at from the daylight savings fall-back perspective, the research suggests the extra hour of sleep we gain from the November 7th, 2010 daylight savings fall-back date will be protective against heart attack risk. Good to know, especially if you’re the cardiologist on call the week following either date. *This blog post was originally published at T...

And, according to a study published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, that means you’re more likely to get injured on the job today. Not surprisingly, lack of sleep seems to make some worker bees less alert, heightening their risk of injury on the Monday after Daylight Saving Time. At Blisstree, we’re drinking extra coffee and keeping our mugs far away from our keyboards.

Much of the South is still shivering after one of the coldest months in recorded history.And people in the Northeast are recovering from winter storms that battered them with record snowfall. In fact Hawaii was the only state in the U.S. that had no trace of snow Feb. 13.But the March 14 change to daylight saving time is almost here. It’s an early sign that spring is coming before the official first day of spring, which is March 20.The time change can cause you to lose an hour of sleep this Saturday night. Research shows that this disruption can have a lasting effect on your sleep.One way to reduce the negative impact of the time change is to plan ahead. You can go to bed 15 or 20 minutes earlier each night for the rest of this week. This will g...

I’m in it for the fourth year in a row. I haven’t talked to Shirl yet, but I hope she joins up again. It’s nice having company on this trek through words and psyche. I am also trying to get used to the shift back to normal time and away from Daylight Savings Time. Speaking of “time,” maybe that’s a good theme. Then again, any large, expansive noun like that makes for a good theme. If you’re also doing NaNoWriMo, let me know. The more, the merrier, to coin a cliché.

The return to standard time officially occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday morning.This means you get an extra hour in your day. This is a great opportunity to catch up on your sleep!To get an extra hour of sleep, you should go to bed at your normal bedtime. Then set all your clocks back an hour just before getting into bed.Lifestyle choices, personal obligations and occupational demands can cause you to become sleep deprived. Ongoing sleep disorders or medical conditions can also cause sleep deprivation. When you are constantly getting less sleep than you need, you develop what is known as a ‘sleep debt’.Sleep deprivation is linked with increased risk for obesity, illness and death. It can also lead to decreased alertness and performance during the d...

Sometimes the changes in time will affect Alzheimer’s patients and confuse them if they have a body pattern.  In others, who simply have a nap and awake mode, they’ll not sense the time change at all.  It simply may be more difficult upon the caregivers as they adapt to the different time.

Officially it begins late tonight at 2 a.m.If you live in Hawaii or in most parts of Arizona, you get to ignore the time change. Your states already enjoy plenty of daylight.For the rest of the country, the AASM recommends that you set your clocks ahead one hour in the early evening. Then go to sleep at your normal bedtime. This will help prevent the loss of an hour of sleep.You can help your body prepare for the early bedtime by changing other routines during the day. Meal times are an important timing cue for your body. Eating lunch and dinner an hour earlier than normal may help adjust your body’s schedule.Light is another important timing cue. Your body produces more melatonin as it gets dark at night. This signal lets your...

You should.Sleep experts advise you to go to bed 15 or 20 minutes earlier each night before the time change. This will give your body time to adjust.You may be thinking, “It’s only an hour. What’s the big deal?”Well, the one-hour time change may affect you more than you realize. Consider these research findings:New England Journal of Medicine: Heart attacks are significantly increased for the first three weekdays after the transition to daylight saving time in the spring. The authors suggest that the best explanation for this risk is that the time change causes sleep deprivation.BMC Physiology: The transition in and out of daylight saving time disrupts sleep and enhances restlessness.

(So, in his pre-melatonin days, when he fell asleep at midnight at the earliest, “bedtime” for me took on all the aura of some kind of promised land.) According to a new study in the Journal of Labor Economics, the schedule for TV shows, rather than natural circadian rhythms, determine the times when most Americans sleep: In their forthcoming article for the Journal of Labor Economics, “Cues for Timing and Coordination: Latitude, Letterman, and Longitude,” authors Daniel S. Hamermesh, Caitlin Knowles Myers, and Mark L. Pocock look at the brief fight between American’s natural timing cues — the circadian rhythms determined by the sun — and the man-made cues brought on wi...

Even experts find it hard to explain why the brain needs to sleep for a third of every day. We do know that humans sleep in cycles and every 60 minutes the brain swoops into a deep sleep or REM … which is the cycle that rewires your brain nightly. This is the time when your brain integrates what you learned into long term memory tools. For people who retire at about the same time … and in the same setting … their internal brain clocks often need no alarm clock to awaken them. All is disrupted however when the clock changes its routines and your internal clock races to keep up. Ex...
