People all have the struggle of waking up early in the morning and driving to work or school. However, now that time has been pushed ahead one hour, the sun rises a little later than usual. The Better Sleep Council has done research showing that sixty one percent of Americans said their work quality on Monday has been affected by the change of time. Losing an hour of sleep also changed the eating and driving habits of the 1,038 adults surveyed. Twenty nine percent of those people said it would take them almost a week to adjust to the time changes. A Swedish study from five years ago said the chances of having a heart attack the first three days of the daylight savings time changes increased by ten percent. An Australian study that same year showed people, specifically men, were more likely to commit suicide. All it takes for these statistics to decrease is for people to start preparing from days before to receive enough sleep.
