Dailey Bailey: Daylight Saving Starts Sunday, and It’s Going to Try to Murder You

Daylight Saving Time starts on Sunday, which means dragging yourself out of bed for work on Monday is going to be terrible.

But at least you’ll be alive to do it. Hopefully.

Scientists just analyzed 10 years of data from hospitals in Finland, and found that there’s an 8% jump in strokes in the week after we switch to Daylight Saving Time.

They say it has to do with the way the time change messes with your body’s internal clock. When it gets thrown off, your body can have some serious negative responses . . . especially if you’re over 65, or your health is already kind of shaky.

On the bright side, you probably won’t have a stroke because of the time change. But if you do, um, spoiler alert?
