“There is a temporary increase in crashes on the Monday after the yearly switch to daylight saving time. Same with heart attacks. But switching to daylight saving time on Sunday essentially gives us the best of both worlds: More sunlight at the end of the day in the summer (when stores and restaurants are glad for the extra daylight — and dollars) but fewer dark mornings in the fall and winter with the switch back to standard time. Still, there are annual efforts — in Augusta and Washington — to end the clock changing.”
