Health Considerations for Connecticut Residents
Medical research has revealed important health impacts of time changes in Connecticut. The spring forward transition is associated with a 7% increase in heart attacks during the first three days after the change. Car accidents also spike by approximately 8% on the Monday following the spring time change.
Energy Consumption Patterns in Connecticut
Recent studies on energy consumption during DST in Connecticut show modest savings of approximately 0.5% in electricity usage. However, these savings are offset by increased gasoline consumption as people take advantage of extended daylight for travel and recreation. The net energy impact remains a subject of ongoing research and debate among policy makers.
Preparation Tips
✓ Check and replace smoke detector batteries when changing clocks - it's a good reminder!
✓ Consider the time change when scheduling meetings with people in other time zones.
✓ Gradually adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the time change to minimize disruption.
✓ Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
