The annual clock change from standard to daylight saving time on Saturday night causes many people to experience a temporary mini-jet lag. This affects the circadian rhythm and can lead to difficulty concentrating, fatigue, and exhaustion. Added to this is seasonal spring fatigue, which further weakens the body.
Traffic psychologists warn of the risks involved in road traffic. The time change and the associated fatigue can lead to driving errors and violations of the rules. This significantly increases the risk of accidents. Increased caution is advised, especially in the first few days after the change.
Experts advise drivers to allow sufficient time and take additional breaks on longer journeys. Those feeling tired should avoid long journeys or use public transport. Exercise in the fresh air can help get your circulation going and make it easier to adjust to the new rhythm.
