Fig 3. Online donation behavior—Study 3.

(A) Overall distribution of donation amounts obtained from US states that observe DST, from 2001 to 2016. Light green inset highlights DST-observing states (i.e., excluding Arizona and Hawaii). (B) Donation amount was significantly lower in the week of DST transition (light blue) relevant to other weeks in the surrounding months (βDST week = −0.11 ± 0.04, P < 0.005, adjusted for donation day, month, and year, see Methods). (C) The reduction in donation amount observed in the weeks around DST (top panel, centered around the third week of March) was not evident in the transition to ST (bottom panel, centered around the second week of November), suggesting that insufficient sleep triggered by the transition to DST uniquely impacts donation behavior. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.005; error bars reflect standard error of the mean. US base layer map was plotted using the free and open-source Plotly library for python (https://plotly.com/python/maps/). Individual data presented in this figure can be found in S3 Data. DST, daylight saving time; ST, standard time; US, United States.
