Rolling back the clocks in November may give millions of Americans an extra hour of sleep, but it also costs human and animal lives on U.S. roads that could be saved by making daylight savings time permanent, a new study argues.In a new paper in Current Biology, a team of University of Washington researchers found that 36,550 deer and 33 human lives could be saved in deer/vehicle crashes simply by not setting America's clocks back in the fall, when many species' breeding seasons are at their peak and nocturnal animals are far more likely to cross busy roadways after dark in search of a mate.
