Show Notes
New study reveals a six percent increase in fatal car crashes the week after Daylight Saving Time begins, attributed to sleep loss and disrupted body clocks. Drowsy driving contributes to eighteen percent of traffic deaths, with an estimated six thousand seven hundred lives lost in 2021 alone. Experts warn that drowsy driving may cause ten times more crashes than reported, posing significant risks. To mitigate these dangers, drivers are advised to prioritize rest, take regular breaks, avoid heavy meals and alcohol, and be aware of signs of fatigue, especially during the first few days after the time change.
