Daylight saving time can heavily impact sleep, with the American Association for Sleep Medicine finding that 55% of those in the U.S. say they feel tired after the switch. (Credit: metamorworks/Adobe Stock)The switch to daylight saving time happens on Sunday, March 9, but along with the extra evening sunshine comes extra roadway risk.
According to a study from Current Biology, fatal traffic accidents increase by 6% during the spring daylight saving transition — a loss of about 28 more lives than on an average day. In the week after the time change, risk compounds in the morning when it may be darker than usual for people when commuting, while the risk lessens in the afternoon and evening since it stays light longer. The study also found that those in locations further west were more heavily affected by the time change.
