Sunday Morning Magazine with Rodney Lear

Kara Hitchens, Public and Government Affairs, AAA. Springing forward can mean falling back into a bad driving habit – drowsy driving. The arrival of Daylight-Saving Time this weekend means one less hour of sleep, a darker morning commute and the potential for more sleepy drivers on the road. AAA is reminding drivers to adjust their sleeping habits along with their clocks, to stay alert behind the wheel and to look out for pedestrians, especially children who will be on their way to school and may be hard to see.

Mekaela Davis, Heart Disease Survivor. Mekaela is a mother of four, tech industry leader, and fitness enthusiast that nearly lost her life due to a total heart blockage in her sleep. She had an implantable heart monitor tracking her heartbeat while she experienced the blockage. She had no idea it happened until 3 days later when her doctor saw the results (three day lag in transmitting the data). She was given a pacemaker to ensure a regular heart rhythm, but her heart coming back from that blockage is nothing short of a miracle.
