most Canadians will spring forward this weekend simply put we lose an hour of sleep but it's much more complicated than that and there's a big push to ditch the switch on Daylight Saving Time ctv's K carali joins me now to unwind the tension behind the time change comml Heather at 2 a.m. Sunday most Canadians will lose an hour of sleep and sleep researchers say the sudden shift has been proven to take a toll on our physical health and mental well-being statistics have shown an increased risk of workplace accidents and car accidents and Vascular events like stroke and heart attacks it can also result in mood disturbances all because it disrupts our circadian rhythm which tells our body when it's time to sleep and wake up so from the mental health side uh this time change is associated with an increase of depression and suicide attempts when we move to daylight saving time we're essentially adding extra light exposure at the end of the day which is not conducive to good sleep at night and that poorer sleep leads to poor health overall so some sleep hygiene tips to help you this weekend avoid napping on Saturday so you feel sleepier later at night don't eat or drink right before bed exercise on Saturday so you've worked off all that energy and take part in relaxing activities before bed don't go on your phone and maintaining the same sleep and wakeup times leading up to Sunday also helps there's been a growing push to ditch the switch both Ontario and BC passed legislation to do just that but haven't implemented it yet because they've been waiting on their us counterparts to act a bill was introduced in the US House of Representatives in March of last year but so far it remains idle Heather a debate that certainly takes up a lot of time thank you
