    Literally the title of the second link:

    Questions work better at getting answers...

    But here's one for the road:

    Duke, along with colleagues, compared heart attack rates during the week of DST — both spring and fall — with the weeks immediately before and after. In the spring, 28,678 patients (17.0%) were treated for AMI during the DST week, compared to 28,596 (16.9%) the week before and 28,169 (16.7%) the week after.

    If the change happens the first day, including days before and after would dilute the effect

    Which is why this is the one study that didnt find it. Except they did find it, it was just diluted by looking at a longer time than necessary...

    If you have more questions, you won't get answers from me tho, be happy you got that one.
