Studies conducted by the National Health Institute and other agencies show that accidents, particularly fatal accidents, increase during the time shifts for Daylight Savings Time (DST). On Sunday, November 6th<\/sup>, Idahoans will turn their clocks back one hour giving us all an extra hour of sleep. That is a good thing right?

Surveys reveal that half of American adult drivers admit to driving while drowsy and 1 in 5 admit to falling asleep behind the wheel. Drowsiness and driving is a dangerous combination. Drowsiness doubles a motorist\u2019s crash risk. Get a good night\u2019s sleep, schedule regular stops, and pull over to take a short nap if you feel fatigued, not only for long trips, but also for shorter trips of an hour.<\/p>\n

The end of DST also creates a more dangerous evening commute during the work week with darkness arriving sooner since the early dusk hours make it more difficult for motorists to see other vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists in the roadway. Give yourself extra time to commute in the evening and slow down as dusk occurs to allow your eyesight to adjust to the changes.<\/p>\n
