The human body is more prone to strokes and heart attacks in morning hours. Between 6 a.m. and noon. Greater emphasis in the hours between 6 a.m. and 9 a,m.
The reason involves the natural transition the body goes through on waking. Blood pressure surges, cortisol levels rise, melatonin drops, stress hormones increase, and dehydration is at its highest level since no one drinks water while sleeping.
Roughly 85 percent of strokes are caused by blood clots. Fortunately today we have cbt busting medications which limit stroke deaths.
Strokes occur when a blood clot or broken vessel prevents blood from getting to the brain. Can be fatal. Immediate attention required. Strokes are the second leading cause of deaths world wide and the fifth in the U.S.

Ninety percent of humans are right handed. Why? Other primates favor neither the right nor left hand or paw. The answer has stumped scientists. Most believe it is one choice or another. Simple. On the other hand, many believe it had to do with weapon holding in days of old. The heart being located on the left side of the body. Our ancestors held weapons in their right hands so not to suffer mortal wounds on the left.

The “Great National Blackout” occurred in the late afternoon/early evening this day in 1965. I recall it well.
I had just finished working out at the YMCA after work. I was combing my hair when the lights went out.
I drove home. No street lights on. No lights visible in homes or buildings.
Of course, my home was pitch black also. The blackout continued in New York State and Canada till the early morning hours.
My family and I confined ourselves to the living room. Similar to how we did in a snow storm when the heat went out. The living room floor and chairs. We had a ton of candles which we used. A “family time” event.
In New York City, 800,000 people were trapped on the subways, people stuck in elevators everywhere.
The cause of the blackout was a transmission line in Canada which tripped. Thirty million people in 8 States in the U.S and most of Canada were affected. Power was gradually returned over the night.
Typical of dangers which were a common fear in those days, I suspected a Russian attack. Everyone worried back then whenever something strange or remote occurred. A Russian air attack was of special concern. Rome, N.Y. was a mere 14 miles away. The government had located a huge SAC base there. Ergo, my concern was well placed.

I continue to sleep poorly. I wish the problem would get resolved. My left eye continues to be big time bloodshot. Does not affect my vision. I am now seeing well out of it. Dr. Oppenheimer says that is the way it should be working now.
Enjoy your day!
