Dusk can be a particularly dangerous time, as many people will be commuting home from work or school in dimmer lighting conditions. And studies show that the risk of accidents increases during this period. In fact, one study spanning 20 years by Current Biology highlights how drowsiness and a disrupted internal clock can yield hazardous results on the road.
