weaker judgement later in the night

[kensuguro]

I remember reading about people having weaker judgement later in the night, so it's usually advised to put the card down for the night, and think about it again the next day. I remember the article saying that most sales happen during late night hours.. does anyone know of an article in that same direction?

makes perfect sense, though...

[kensuguro]

yeah.. it figures why one night stands occur at night too.. imagine a one lunch stand. That's just wrong.

Does this theory still apply to night workers?

I think this is because people drink at night. The circadian rhythm makes it difficult for night workers to ever adjust, especially if they rotate shifts with day workers.

I guess that's true for car accidents.. most dangerous time was 12-2am, when most dui happens

when the drunks that should have stuck where they were in the bar, but because of the law were booted out into the streets, in a town that's predicated on personal mobility...

yep, cars are even worse than guns, but you can't have my car either....
