What to know about daylight savings time and the science of sleep

What to know about daylight savings time and the science of sleep

Here’s your twice-yearly reminder to mess with your clocks this weekend. Turn them an hour because daylight savings time is ending. The shift takes a physical, mental and even financial toll.

How Jacob Frey won reelection

How Jacob Frey won reelection

Jacob Frey’s opponents identified their strategy to defeat the incumbent mayor: don’t rank him. But thousands of voters didn’t listen. Not only did Frey collect the most first-choice votes — 43 percent — but another 9 percent of voters ranked him as their second choice, and 7.5 percent as their third choice. The result: another term for Frey.
