This is finally the weekend for the switch back from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time here in the United States.  We've discussed how to update your PCs and Windows Mobile devices before, but how does the transition affect you?  Dr. Sydney Spiesel discusses this in Slate Magazine.

Not too surprisingly, it turns out that people are affected by the time change, and that people are affected in different ways.  It is interesting that for some, the disruption of sleep/wake cycles can last the entire summer, resetting again on the change back to Standard Time!

Dr. Spiesel was also on line for a chat about the article.
