Health Considerations for Indiana Residents
Medical research has revealed important health impacts of time changes in Indiana. 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 7% on the Monday following the spring time change.
Agricultural Considerations
Farmers in Indiana have historically had mixed feelings about DST. While the original justification for DST included giving farmers more daylight hours, modern farming practices rely heavily on the sun's position rather than clock time. Dairy farmers particularly note that cows don't adjust their biological clocks, creating temporary disruptions in milking schedules.
Preparation Tips
✓ Remember that not all countries change on the same date - check international meeting times carefully.
✓ Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.
✓ Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
✓ Take advantage of the 'extra' hour in fall to catch up on sleep or tackle a project.
