Daylight Savings kicked in for most Americans this weekend, requiring most to “fall Back” and subtract and hour from their clocks.   Even though the time change in the Fall “adds” an hour of sleep the weekend of the change, the abrupt change in light exposure can negatively impact an individual’s circadian rhythm.  Upsets to the circadian rhythm can result in sleep difficulties including loss of sleep, fatigue and mood changes.

April is distracted driving month. According to the CDC, nine people are killed in crashes involving a distracted driver each day in the United States. About 1 in 5 of those who die in distracted driving crashes were pedestrians, bicyclists or otherwise not in a motor vehicle, according to the NHTSA.
