Monday is the first workday after the annual switch to daylight saving time in most of the country. Arizona is one of the few spots in the U.S. that does not “spring forward" and some studies say that’s a good thing.
In most states, people are going to work Monday with about 40 minutes less sleep than usual. Also, workplace injuries typically spike about 6 percent. That’s all according to a study published a few years ago in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
Still, several bills have been introduced and killed to move Arizona onto daylight saving time. The most recent one was withdrawn this January.
The state officially rejected the time change in 1968. These days, Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that don’t observe the time switch, with one large, rural exception: the Navajo Nation.
