PBS Report on Daylight Saving Time and Heart Attack Data
PBS features advocate Scott Yates, who campaigns against the biannual clock change due to its negative economic and health impacts. Data suggests a spike in heart attacks occurs on the Monday following the "spring forward" change in states that observe daylight saving time, a trend not seen in Arizona or Hawaii. The report highlights growing American dissatisfaction with the current federal time-shifting mandate.
