You might know that the spring time shift is associated with a spike in heart attacks, injuries, and car accidents. But did you know it’s also associated with a small drop in risk of some inflammatory diseases (Zhang et al., 2020)?

We also identify for the first time a collection of diseases with relative risks that appear to decrease immediately after the spring DST shift, enriched with infections and immune system-related maladies. These diseases’ decreasing relative risks might be driven by the documented boosting effect of a short-term stress (such as that experienced around the spring DST shift) on the immune system.

There are very little measured health effects of the fall time shift, good or bad. An extra hour to sleep is apparently pretty neutral.
