The Middle West is screwed again. This time, it's baseball
New research indicates that coastal teams have a circadian advantage:
"The magnitude of circadian advantage influenced success. When teams held a one-hour circadian advantage, winning percentage was 0.517, and winning percentage with a two-hour advantage was 0.517. When teams held a three-hour circadian advantage, winning percentage increased to 0.603," said W. Christopher Winter, MD, of Martha Jefferson Hospital Sleep Medicine Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, lead author of the study.
In other words, East Coast teams have an advantage over West Coast teams (and vice-versa). Midwest teams have no advantages over either.
