According to the American Heart Association, there's always an increase in the number of heart attacks in the first week after we spring forward each year.
A study in Michigan found a 24% increase on the first Monday after clocks shift. And a separate study in Finland found an 8% bump in the number of strokes in the first two days.
They're still not sure why it happens, but they think it has to do with disrupting our body's internal clock.
