If you're feeling a little more tired than usual today don't be alarmed. Moving the clocks up an hour for daylight saving time can have some underlying affects on your health.
Depending on your personal lifestyle, sleeping habits and general health, changing the time can affect you. If you're used to getting a certain amount of sleep at night, springing the time ahead can definitely have you more tired than usual. And if you were already sleep-deprived before moving the clocks forward, you may be hitting a wall today.
Believe it or not, moving the time up an hour can have drivers tired and cause accidents. Records show there are more accidents the week following daylight saving time than other times throughout the year.
If you feel a little tired today it is perfectly fine. The average person bounces back to normal after about a day or two, some make take a little longer. I suggest you just grab an extra cup of coffee and tough it out. Not a coffee drinker? Take a few extra breaks, walk around and stretch.
There is some good news to moving the clocks up an hour ... it's now light outside at least until 7 p.m. now.
