Schedule alert! Every game that tired teams should lose in March
Welcome to National Sleep Awareness Month!
Yes, this is a very real thing -- and just as this is real, so too is the fact that the National Sleep Foundation has designated a National Sleep Awareness Week: March 11-17.
Why that week? Well, March 11 is the beginning of daylight saving time, so we'll "spring forward" and lose an extra hour overnight. One hour might not seem like much, but studies have shown that there are more fatal car accidents on the Monday after shifting to daylight saving time due to the sleep loss of one hour and circadian disruption.
