On March 10, every state except for and will spring forward by one hour, giving people less sleep but longer time in the sun.Daylight saving time (DST) has been going on for more than a century and is meant to extend daylight hours in the summer. But while the sun sets later through November, the loss of an hour when the clocks initially change has been known for years to set off , including fatigue and poor sleep, as well as a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.Adapting to a new sleep schedule throws people off their normal sleep-wake rhythm because of a disruption to their circadian rhythm - the body’s internal clock. The rhythm is finely attuned to environmental cues like sunlight, which stimulates wakefulness.
