XS Mornings #DailyDose 3 WEIRD FACTS: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

clock-145161768-1Feeling extra tired today? You are NOT alone!

Here are 3 WEIRD side effects thanks to Daylight Savings:

1.  You’re more likely to have a heart attack.  A recent study found there are 25% more heart attacks today than an average Monday.  And there are also more car crashes.

2.  It’s the worst day of the year to be sentenced for a crime.  A study came out last year that found judges impose harsher sentences right after Daylight Savings.  Possibly because they’re in a bad mood, or just tired from not getting enough sleep.

3.  You’re less likely to get robbed.  Which is the only POSITIVE side effect on the list.  A study in 2015 found there are 7% fewer robberies the day after Daylight Savings.

And there are 27% fewer robberies the NIGHT after Daylight Savings starts.  Probably because the sun sets later, and most robberies happen when it’s dark out.
