Springing Forward

It’s 10 p.m., and I just got home from my linguistics class. Part of me wants to post something more substantial to the blog, and part of me wants to go directly to bed.
Typically I spend the next few weeks after the spring time change fighting off a lingering chest cold, so I think I’ll listen to the part of me that needs sleep.
I’ll leave you with this interesting piece of information. When I lived in the Washington area my doctor told me that the rate of auto accidents goes up during the week after we turn the clocks back or forward.
Of course, I have no documentation to back this up (and, frankly, I’m even too tired to Google it), but it’s an intuitively appealing statistic.
