TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the connection between equity returns and sleep disruptions following daylight-savings time changes and find that the average Friday-to-Monday return on daylight saving weekends is markedly lower than expected with a magnitude 200 to 500 percent larger than the average negative return for other weekends of the year.
Abstract: We explore the connection between equity returns and sleep disruptions following daylight-savings time changes. In international markets, the average Friday-to-Monday return on daylight-savings weekends is markedly lower than expected, with a magnitude 200 to 500 percent larger than the average negative return for other weekends of the year. This ``daylight-savings anomaly'' in financial markets is consistent with desynchronosis research which has identified the effects of changes in sleep patterns on judgment, anxiety, reaction time, problem solving and accidents. This paper suggests sleep effects of daylight-savings time changes may be impacting market participants internationally.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the human circadian system does not adjust to DST and that its seasonal adaptation to the changing photoperiods is disrupted by the introduction of summer time, which may extend to other aspects of seasonal biology in humans.

TL;DR: Scenarios involving pedestrians were most sensitive to light level, in some cases showing up to seven times more risk at night over daytime, suggesting factors other than light level play the dominant role in these crashes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the differential influence of time changes associated with daylight saving time on sleep quantity and associated workplace injuries and found that on Mondays directly following the switch to Daylight Saving Time, workers sleep on average 40 min less than on other days.
Abstract: The authors examine the differential influence of time changes associated with Daylight Saving Time on sleep quantity and associated workplace injuries. In Study 1, the authors used a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health database of mining injuries for the years 1983-2006, and they found that in comparison with other days, on Mondays directly following the switch to Daylight Saving Time-in which 1 hr is lost-workers sustain more workplace injuries and injuries of greater severity. In Study 2, the authors used a Bureau of Labor Statistics database of time use for the years 2003-2006, and they found indirect evidence for the mediating role of sleep in the Daylight Saving Time-injuries relationship, showing that on Mondays directly following the switch to Daylight Saving Time, workers sleep on average 40 min less than on other days. On Mondays directly following the switch to Standard Time-in which 1 hr is gained-there are no significant differences in sleep, injury quantity, or injury severity.
