You can fight drowsiness after daylight saving time
“Research has shown an association with an increased risk for stroke, heart attack, car accidents, and also we have seen, in some research, a spike in depression episodes,” Pena said. When we’re not commuting to work in the morning, we’re also exposed to less light and our bodies need daylight to help regulate our internal clock. Daylight saving time adds to the sleep deprivation we’re already experiencing. Pena said exposure to sunlight will help fight off tired feelings, so get outside if you can. That will help people to feel rejuvenated and feel better during those episodes where they feel a little bit drowsy or sluggish,” Pena said.

Winter months lead to increase in unsafe sleep deaths in children, DPS says
Rachel Galvan, a child safety specialist for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, says it’s heartbreaking to read the reports each year related to unsafe sleep investigations during these winter months. Babies should sleep, “A” alone, on their “B” back and in a “C” crib to help reduce their chance of death, Galvan explains. Each year, Texas CPS sees an average of 158 unsafe sleep deaths. Since December 1st, the state reports 31 unsafe sleep death investigations and 12 of them are in Region 8, which includes Bexar County. “It’s a generational practice where families do sleep closely with all the siblings, the children and both parents are all sleeping together,” she said.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get at least seven hours of sleep a night to stay healthy. But researchers say more than one-third of American workers were not getting enough sleep in 2018, and now, during the pandemic, those numbers are projected to increase. Health science researcher Jagdish Khubchandani first analyzed the sleep habits of 150,000 Americans through 2018 and then updated those results earlier this year. Researchers say only 50 percent of police officers and 55 percent of health care workers reported getting enough sleep.
