Time Until Next Change
Health Considerations for Wisconsin Residents
Medical research has revealed important health impacts of time changes in Wisconsin. The spring forward transition is associated with a 5% 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.
Energy Consumption Patterns in Wisconsin
Recent studies on energy consumption during DST in Wisconsin show modest savings of approximately 0.3% 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
✓ Use the phrase 'Spring forward, fall back' to remember which direction to change your clocks.
✓ Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
✓ Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.
✓ Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
