“So Monday, there's an increase in presentation for heart attacks. That’s been consistent across all studies that have looked at this,” said Dr. Robert Salazar, an interventional cardiologist at the Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston, Texas. One study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session found a 24 percent increase in heart attacks the Monday after daylight saving time started.“People end up losing an hour of sleep. They often didn't anticipate it or plan for it. They get less non-REM sleep,” Dr. Salazar said.
During non-REM sleep, heart rate goes down, blood pressure comes down, and the body relaxes. Dr. Salazar said when people miss out on that extra hour it can have a big impact on blood pressure, stress, and heart rate.“The big thing is having a consistent sleep schedule,” Dr. Salazar said. He explained that focusing on your sleep quality leads to better cardiovascular health and mental health as well.
“You want to have a cool room, it should be dark, it should be quiet. Screens and electronics should be kept out of the bedroom,” he said.“The other thing is to make sure you're getting plenty of exercise to the extent that you're able to,” he said.
