Take Extra Care On The Drive Home, As You May Be More Tired Than You Think

Cedar Rapids, Iowa — Iowans may need another cup of coffee before heading home this evening, after Daylight Saving Time ended over the weekend. While we set the clocks back an hour, our bodies need a week or so to properly adjust to the shift. AAA Iowa spokeswoman Brynna Knapp says sunset is at five minutes after five o’clock tonight, so many Iowans will be driving home in the dark.

Before you get behind the wheel at any time of the day, it’s important to get a good night’s sleep, and Knapp suggests we could all benefit from a review of our driving habits.

Knapp says this is a good time of year to get an eye exam for six out of ten drivers who wear glasses or contacts.
