Abstract in brief

  • This study analyzes how daylight saving time (DST) transitions affect different types of accidents, using data from 126 million claims in New Zealand between 2005 and 2016, and finds that accident rates, especially for road accidents, tend to increase immediately after DST begins.
  • Accident rates for falls and home/community incidents tend to decline just before DST changes, possibly due to people anticipating the change and adjusting behavior accordingly.
  • The research suggests that DST transitions have varying impacts on different accident categories and days of the week, which has important implications for policy and how we manage time changes to improve safety.]

I think we have data to show not only do we save energy (which motivated us in the 1970’s) but we also create a lot of problems. https://t.co/ER34o3N9NZ
