Clocks change at the end of the week - and it could be dangerous - as it sends more people to hospital.
A Federal Statistical Office study, covering 2011 to 2023, found emergency admissions jump with both the spring and autumn time shifts.
At the end of March, cases rose by 6.5% on average, hitting under-65s hardest. In October, admissions still climbed, though less sharply, up 3.5%.
In the spring, when the clocks go forward, it’s circulatory and respiratory issues that spike, while traumatic injuries oddly fall when the clocks change.
It seems our bodies still obey the biological clock, not the alarm clock.
