Die meisten Amerikaner wären gesünder, ohne Tageslicht zu retten. Die Studie verglich dauerhafte Standard, dauerhaftes Tageslicht und halbjährliche Verschiebung und stellte fest, dass wir derzeit „schlechteste Wahl“ haben. Die dauerhafte Standardzeit ist besser als die dauerhafte Tageslichtzeit, sowohl besser als die aktuelle halbjährliche Verschiebung.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**Most Americans Would be Healthier Without Daylight Savings Time**
Setting the clock forward to daylight saving time in spring and back to standard time in fall could be doing most Americans more harm than good.
While the loss of an hour of sleep in March has been linked to more heart attacks and fatal accidents in the days that follow, a Stanford Medicine study has discovered there are longer-term health hazards from the biannual changes—and better alternatives.
**The team compared how three different time policies—permanent standard time, permanent daylight saving time and biannual shifting**—could affect people’s circadian rhythms and their health throughout the U.S.
Circadian rhythm is the body’s innate, roughly 24-hour clock, which regulates many physiological processes. The researchers discovered that—from a circadian perspective—we currently have the „worst choice“.
„Our data demonstrate that from a circadian health perspective, **changing to permanent standard time would be better than permanent daylight time, with both being better than the current biannual shift**.“
Every year this comes during the time shifts :/ I pray that it’ll happen in my lifetime, having moved states and needing to keep track of a single different time zone has shown how maddening it must be to be the rest of the world and having to ask “country, state, time zone,…time of year check for USA to know if we need to add/subtract an hour” -_- insanity
or without bacon, but I dont see them cutting that either
then lets make the switch. who even opposes this nowadays?
Permanent DST is superior and that’s a hill I’ll die on. Pitch black by 4:30pm in December is brutal. 5:30 would at least allow most people to drive home in the light.
And I can tell you the older you get the more susceptible you are to time shifts. When the time moves either way an hour I can feel the result for a week. I can only imagine the cost of mistakes, accidents and just general lack of sharpness that it causes collectively.
On top of daylight savings, one thought I had recently is what is the point of time zones? Why dont we all just go by UTC? That way you would never have to wonder what time it was where someone else is. Is there a reason we want the sun to set and rise at the same time in each region of the world?
We all hate it, I don’t even like the current admin and I would still credit them if they go the move on fixing it
We ALL hate it, just pick a side and let’s do it D:
Crumbles, for the crumble gods
Americans and doing things the absolute dumbest way possible.
Name a better duo.
