Marietta, Georgia - In the days following the switch to daylight savings time be wary of increased risks of traffic accidents. According to an ABC study which looked at incidents of accident reports from 1983-2006, Mondays following daylight savings switches saw a 6% increase in accidents. Researchers attributed this increase to disruption of normal sleep patterns causing increased drowsiness.
