FAYETTEVILLE, ARK. – Two times a year we experience a time change due to daylight savings. On Sunday at two in the morning, our clocks jumped backward an hour making us gain an hour of sleep. Many students appreciate the hour gained, but when it comes to loosing an hour many students get upset about loosing sleep or study time. Senior Alejandro Jordan says the time change this past weekend didn’t impact him in a big way. “To be honest I didn’t notice it a lot,” Jordan said.
With the time change comes adjustment, and when gaining an hour many students like the fact they have more time in the night to do what they want. “If you’re out on Dickson or out doing whatever you’re doing you’ll appreciate that extra hour,” Jordan said. But, when it comes to loosing an hour, many students can feel the need for an extra hour of sleep throughout the day. According to the CDC, changing regular sleep routines increases your risk of a heart attack and stroke. Health professionals suggest gradually changing the times for sleep, eating, and activity.
