Brunch dates and flag football games might be a little easier to get to this Sunday, when phones grace early-risers with an extra hour of rest before alarm clocks go off.
The downside: Next week across most of the U.S., the sun will set well before many folks step foot out of the office, leaving them to run errands or take walks in utter darkness. Come Nov. 5, daylight saving time is out and standard time is in, and will last until March 10.
Many Americans are already sleep-deprived, and a change in time messes with sleep schedules even more, says Dr. Phyllis Zee, a sleep researcher at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, although she says"falling back" and gaining an extra hour is generally easier on the body than"springing forward" and losing one.
"Just that one hour can change the amount of sleep you get, the quality of sleep that you get," Zee said. Off-kilter sleep can affect people's ability to multitask, stay alert, and even maintain their balance, making them more prone to accidents. "With daylight savings coming to an end, what people really need to be focused on is their driving now in the afternoon when it's darker earlier," and when they may be feeling drowsy, she said.
