Time Until Next Change
Health Considerations for Virginia Residents
Medical research has revealed important health impacts of time changes in Virginia. The spring forward transition is associated with a 9% increase in heart attacks during the first three days after the change. Car accidents also spike by approximately 6% on the Monday following the spring time change.
Technology and Time Changes in 2025
Modern devices handle DST transitions automatically, but some systems still require manual updates. In 2025, ensure your smart home devices, car navigation systems, and older electronics are properly configured. Many IoT devices now use internet time servers for automatic updates, reducing the burden on users in Virginia.
IT departments should be particularly vigilant about server time synchronization, especially for systems handling financial transactions or time-sensitive operations.
Preparation Tips
✓ Consider the time change when scheduling meetings with people in other time zones.
✓ Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.
✓ Gradually adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the time change to minimize disruption.
✓ Check and replace smoke detector batteries when changing clocks - it's a good reminder!
