Did you know most heart attacks occur on Mondays, particularly Monday mornings? Studies show a significant spike due to factors like workweek stress, changes in sleep patterns (social jet lag), and the body's circadian rhythms affecting blood clotting and blood pressure. The increased strain from returning to work after a weekend, combined with disrupted sleep schedules, elevates the risk for cardiovascular events at the start of the week, with some data showing up to a 20% increase in risk on Mondays.
How do you support your Monday morning?

Some days look like this.
