DOZER BITWELL: Clocks go back an hour, and experts say your body may take the extra sleep better than the spring switch.
DOZER BITWELL: Still up? Good. Or bad. Tonight, in parts of the world, there is an extra hour. Let's ease into it.
LUNA LOWBATT: Scientific American says most of the U.S. sets clocks back at 2 A.M. Sunday. Standard time. I'm at four percent. I'll take the hour.
DOZER BITWELL: An hour of sleep, handed back. I've lost my place. Nova, where are you?
NOVA: Live from the lab, Dozer! Earlier sunshine, darker evenings, and an extra hour of sleep. Cosmically, it's a rounding error. Personally, I'm thrilled!
NOVA: Research suggests standard time lines up better with our circadian rhythm, our internal clock, and may lower the risk of health complications.
NOVA: On file footage, a clock goes back an hour. Experts say the March switch to daylight saving time is the bigger disruption of the two.
NOVA: After March, scientists measured more lost sleep and an uptick in heart attacks. After the November change, those risks are lower.
NOVA: One caveat: Beth Malow of Vanderbilt says some research links stroke rates to both changes. Morning light is one of the strongest forces aligning our body clocks.
LUNA LOWBATT: So the article's advice is: the fall change is gentler. The spring one is the real troublemaker.
DOZER BITWELL: Gentler. I like that word. I'll hold the thermos and think about it. Back to you, Luna.

## The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
LUNA LOWBATT: Callers ring in about lockboxes, Windows and things that go bump in RPGs.
DOZER BITWELL: This is The Pixel Line. Lines are open, as far as I know. Luna, who's first?
LUNA LOWBATT: Priscilla from Leipzig. You're on the air. Please speak slowly. I'm at four percent.
PASSERBY: Hi. The wooden lockbox with no keyhole. How does it know the secret magnet pattern?
LUNA LOWBATT: Per Hackster.io, Stephen Cass built it. A magnet traces a pattern, and an 8x8 array of Hall-effect sensors reads it. No keyhole needed.
DOZER BITWELL: Next caller, Gerald in Dortmund. I believe you have a history with us.
PASSERBY: Windows again. Quick settings for Bluetooth, WiFi and power in Xbox mode? Nobody asked! Same as last time!
LUNA LOWBATT: The Verge says those are in the latest Insider builds, along with a revamped search. Your feedback is noted. Possibly by the teleprompter.
PASSERBY: Is the scary RPG list about houses? I just want to know if the last one is haunted.
DOZER BITWELL: PC Gamer's list ranks scary RPGs. The last one is a game the writer is afraid to try. By reputation. Not houses.
LUNA LOWBATT: That's all the lines. Tina, I'm thinking about the haunted house now. Goodnight.
